The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 And when souls are united, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 Then every soul will know what it had prepared for itself. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 and the night that falls, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established in position with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
