The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 by the night swarming, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
