The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 And the breath of morning 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
