The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And the breath of morning 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
