The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 and the night that falls, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
