The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 The closing night, 17 And the breath of morning 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
