The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 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 is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
