The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
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 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the pages are made public 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 and brightening morning, 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
