The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and brightening morning, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
