The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 by the night when it approaches 17 The rising dawn, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
