The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Where then are you going? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
