The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 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 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 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 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 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
