The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And the close of night, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
