The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 Every soul will then come to know what it has brought. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
