The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
