The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when the souls are paired 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 the records of deeds are made public, 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 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 and the night that falls, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 When whither go ye? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
