The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
