The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And the breath of morning 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
