The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And the breath of morning 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
