The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 that hide, 16 And by the night as it closes in 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 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
