The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 And when the stars fall, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And the breath of morning 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 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
