The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 And when the pages are made public 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
