The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 And when the pages are made public 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
