The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas rise, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 and the night that falls, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
