The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 and the night that falls, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
