The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
