The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is overthrown, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Where then will you go? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
