The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when souls are united, 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
