The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was killed 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
