The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was killed 9 And when the books are spread, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
