The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
