The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
