The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 by the night swarming, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
