The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 that hide, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
