The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 The rising dawn, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
