The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
