The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 And when the souls are paired 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
