The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]. 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 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 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 where then are you going? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
