The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 where then are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
