The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the pages are made public 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And the breath of morning 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
