In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
- When the sky is rent asunder,
- And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);-
- And when the earth is flattened out,
- And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
- And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality).
- O, thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.
- Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
- Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
- And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
- But he who is given his Record behind his back,
- Soon will he cry for perdition,
- And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
- Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
- Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
- Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
- So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
- The Night and its Homing;
- And the Moon in her fullness:
- Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
- What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-
- And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
- But on the contrary, the Unbelievers reject (it).
- But God has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
- So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
- Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a reward that will never fail.
