The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 that hide, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 The rising dawn, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
