The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 The rising dawn, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 So where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
