The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 And when the souls are paired 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 The closing night, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 So whither do you stray? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
