The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 Then every soul will know what it had prepared for itself. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 and brightening morning, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
