The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is wound up; 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 and the night that falls, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
