The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
