The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
