The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And the close of night, 17 The rising dawn, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
