The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, 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 pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the pages are made public 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 by the night swarming, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 Where then are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
