The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 And when souls are united, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 that hide, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
