The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 that hide, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
