The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the female infant buried alive 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 has its covering removed, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 The rising dawn, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
