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 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
