The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 The mountains made to move, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 and brightening morning, 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 Your companion is not mad. 22 He had surely seen Him 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 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Where then will you go? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
