The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 The closing night, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
