The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 The mountains made to move, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 And by the dawn when it 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 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 So where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
