The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 The rising dawn, 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
