The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
