The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is wound 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 wild animals are herded together. 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 and the morn as it breathes. 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 is not 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 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
