The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 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 it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
