The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 that hide, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
