The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is wound up; 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 by the night swarming, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 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 comrade is not mad. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
