The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
