The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 and brightening morning, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
