The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
