The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Where then will you go? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
