The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars darken, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 by the night swarming, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]. 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
