The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) shall be questioned. 8 for what sin she was killed, 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 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
