The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 And when the pages are made public 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 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 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
