The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
