The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and brightening morning, 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
