The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is overthrown, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 that hide, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
