The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 that hide, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Where then will you go? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
