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 The mountains made to move, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And the close of night, 17 and the morn as it softly 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 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] 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 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 where then are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
