The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 Where then will you go? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
