The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the pages are made public 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And the breath of morning 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
