The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 and the night that falls, 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
