The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills 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
