The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And the breath of morning 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
