The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
