The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 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 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 When whither go ye? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
