The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 The closing night, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 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 When whither go ye? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
