The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the close of night, 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
