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 fall, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 by the night swarming, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
