The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 and the night that falls, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
