The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
