The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 The closing night, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 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 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 Where then are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to 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
