The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 The closing night, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Where then are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
