Chapter 81: The Rolling at-Takwir

Table of Contents

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful

When the sun is rolled up
When the stars are dimmed
When the mountains are set in motion
When the relationships are suspended
When the beasts are gathered
When the oceans are set aflame
When the souls are paired
When the girl, buried alive, is asked: For what crime was she killed?
When the records are made public
When the sky is peeled away
When the Fire is set ablaze
When Paradise is brought near

Each soul will know what it has readied

I swear by the galaxies
Precisely running their courses
And by the night as it recedes
And by the morn as it breathes

This is the speech of a noble messenger
Endowed with power, eminent with the Lord of the Throne
Obeyed and honest

Your friend is not possessed
He saw him on the luminous horizon
And He does not withhold knowledge of the Unseen
And it is not the word of an accursed devil

So where are you heading?
It is only a Reminder to all mankind
To whoever of you wills to go straight

But you cannot will, unless God wills
The Lord of the Worlds
