The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when souls are united, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 When Hell 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 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
