The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 that hide, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
