The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 The closing night, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
