The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Where then 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 you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
