The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the books are spread, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
