The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
