The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 And your companion is not gone 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 grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
