The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 by the night swarming, 17 And the breath of morning 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
