The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is folded up, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 When souls are reunited 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 Every soul will then come to know what it has brought. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And the night when it departs, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) 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 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills - the Lord of the Creation. 29
