The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 and the night that falls, 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
