The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 where then are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
