The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 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 certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 So whither do you stray? 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 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
