The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 The mountains made to move, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the pages are made public 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And the close of night, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
