The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 And when the pages are made public 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And the close of night, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] 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 So where are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
