The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was killed 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 The closing night, 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
