The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is folded up, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Where then will you go? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
