The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars fall, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 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 are laid open; 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
