The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are united, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was killed 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
