The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And the close of night, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
