The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 by the night swarming, 17 The rising dawn, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 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 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
