The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when souls are united, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
