The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the close of night, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]. 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
