The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And the close of night, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
