The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
