The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And the night when it departs, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 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
