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 are thrown down, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 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 are set afire. 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Where then are you going? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
