The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are united, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was killed 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 and the night that falls, 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
