The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are 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 slain, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
