The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 And when the books are spread, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
