The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
