The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 And when souls are united, 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
