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 fall down. 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 obeyed, and honest. 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 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Then where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
