The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 that hide, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in 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 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Where then are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
