The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 So where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
