The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And the close of night, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
