The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when souls are united, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
