English - Chapter 84 - Al-Inshiqaq

When the sky is ripped apart

obeying its Lord as it rightly must

when the earth is levelled out

casts out its contents, and becomes empty

obeying its Lord as it rightly must

you humans, toiling laboriously towards your Lord, will meet Him

whoever is given his record in his right hand

will have an easy reckoning

and return to his people well pleased

but whoever is given his record from behind his back

will cry out for destruction––

he will burn in the blazing Fire

He used to live among his people well pleased

He thought he would never return [to his Lord]––

indeed he will! His Lord was watching him

I swear by the glow of sunset

by the night and what it covers

by the full moon

you will progress from stage to stage

So why do they not believe

Why, when the Quran is read to them, do they not prostrate themselves [to God]

No! The disbelievers reject the Quran––

God knows best what they keep hidden inside––

so give them news of a painful torment

But those who believe and do good deeds will have a never-ending reward
