The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 And when the books are spread, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
