The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the hills are moved, 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 And when souls are reunited, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Where then are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
