The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Where then are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
