The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And the night when it departs, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 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 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
