The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas rise, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured 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 your comrade is not mad. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
