The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when the souls are paired 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 that hide, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 where then are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
