The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And the breath of morning 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
