The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 The closing night, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
