The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 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
