The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And the close of night, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
