The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
