The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 by the night swarming, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 he is not grudging 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 for the nations, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
