The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And the night when it departs, 17 and brightening morning, 18 Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]. 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 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 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
