The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 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 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 and the night that falls, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
