The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 and the first breath of morning. 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 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
