The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 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 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
