The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 And when the souls are paired 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
