The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 that hide, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
