The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 The closing night, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
