The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And the close of night, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 When whither go ye? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
