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 fall, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 And when the female infant 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 the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
