Chapter 84, 25 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth is spread out
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And will return unto his folk in joy.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
He surely will invoke destruction
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And be thrown to scorching fire.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And by the moon when she is at the full,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
