The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
