The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not [at all] 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 a word of an accursed Satan. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
