The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 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
