The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Where then are you going? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
