The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 So whither do you stray? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
