The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 And when the stars fall, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 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 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
