The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 So where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
