The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 The closing night, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
