The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 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 rejoined (with their bodies), 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 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 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
