The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 that hide, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 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 it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 where then are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
