The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 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 all beasts are gathered together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not gone 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 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
