The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is overthrown, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 by the night swarming, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 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 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
