The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 And when the books are spread, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And the breath of morning 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 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 where then are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
