The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
