The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
