The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the pages are made public 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And the breath of morning 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
