The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is wound up; 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
