The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And the breath of morning 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
