The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 So whither do you stray? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
