The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 and the night that falls, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]. 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
