The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 where then are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
