The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was killed 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 and brightening morning, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
