The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And the close of night, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 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 (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
