The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are united, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
