The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth 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
