The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 When whither go ye? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
