The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 that hide, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 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 processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
