The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 And when the stars fall, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 by the night swarming, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 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 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
