The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 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 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of 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 he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
