The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and brightening morning, 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 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
