The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
