The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
