The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
