The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 by the night swarming, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
