The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed, and honest. 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 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
