The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 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 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 and brightening morning, 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 where then are you going? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
