The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Where then will you go? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
