The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 and brightening morning, 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 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 it the word of a satan accursed. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
