The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And the breath of morning 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 And of a truth he saw himself 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 Whither then go ye? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
