The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 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 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 that hide, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
