The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 and the night that falls, 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
