The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) shall be questioned. 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger, Angel Jibreel - peace and blessings be upon him. 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
