The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And the night when it departs, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
