The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
