The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 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 shall be filled, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
