The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 by the night swarming, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
