The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is folded up, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 and the night that falls, 17 and the first breath of morning. 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 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
