The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
