The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And the breath of morning 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
