| 1 | When the heaven is split asunder, | |
| |
| 2 | And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so. | |
| |
| 3 | And when the earth is stretched forth, | |
| |
| 4 | And has cast out all that was in it and became empty. | |
| |
| 5 | And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so. | |
| |
| 6 | O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, and you will meet (the results of your deeds which you did). | |
| |
| 7 | Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand, | |
| |
| 8 | He surely will receive an easy reckoning, | |
| |
| 9 | And will return to his family in joy! | |
| |
| 10 | But whosoever is given his Record behind his back, | |
| |
| 11 | He will invoke (for his) destruction, | |
| |
| 12 | And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning. | |
| |
| 13 | Verily, he was among his people in joy! | |
| |
| 14 | Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)! | |
| |
| 15 | Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him! | |
| |
| 16 | So I swear by the afterglow of sunset; | |
| |
| 17 | And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness, | |
| |
| 18 | And by the moon when it is at the full. | |
| |
| 19 | You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter). | |
| |
| 20 | What is the matter with them, that they believe not? | |
| |
| 21 | And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they fall not prostrate. | |
| |
| 22 | Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.). | |
| |
| 23 | And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds), | |
| |
| 24 | So announce to them a painful torment. | |
| |
| 25 | Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise). | |
