The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 that hide, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 by the dawn sighing, 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 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
