The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
