The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
