The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
