The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) shall be questioned. 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
