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 darken, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 The rising dawn, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
