The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 where then are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
