The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 And when the pages are made public 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 The closing night, 17 and brightening morning, 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 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
