The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 When souls are reunited 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
