The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
