The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Whither then will you go? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
