The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when souls are united, 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 Surely he beheld Him 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 So where are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
