The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 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 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
