The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
