The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when souls are united, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and brightening morning, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
