English - Chapter 84 - Al-Inshiqaq

When the sky bursts open

hearkening to its Lord as it is bound to do

When the earth is flattened out

hearkening to its Lord as it is bound to do

O Man! You are toiling laboriously towards your Lord but meet Him you will

As for him who is given his Book in his right hand

he will be given an easy reckoning

and return to his family joyfully

But as for him who is given his Book behind his back

he will cry out for destruction

but will be roasted in a Searing Blaze

He used to be joyful in his family

He thought that he was never going to return

But in fact his Lord was always watching him

No, I swear by the evening glow

and the night and all it shrouds

and the moon when it is full

you will mount up stage by stage

What is the matter with them that they have no iman

and, when the Qur´an is recited to them, do not prostrate

In fact those who are kafir say that it is lies

But Allah knows best what they are storing in their hearts

Give them the news of a painful punishment —

except those who have iman and do right actions: they will have a wage which never fails
