The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 And when souls are united, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 he is not niggardly 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 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
