The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 So whither do you stray? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
