The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 The rising dawn, 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
