The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
