The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when souls are united, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 and brightening morning, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
