The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 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
