The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 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 is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
