The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 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 When whither go ye? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 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
