The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 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 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
