The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 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 slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 When whither go ye? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
