The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 and brightening morning, 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 where then are you going? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
