The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
