The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
