The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be 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 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
