English - Chapter 84 - Al-Inshiqaq

When the sky splits apart

And heeds its Lord´s command, as it truly must

When the earth distends

Casts off its contents, and becomes bare and blank

It will heed its Lord´s command, as it truly must

Oh man! Indeed, you are steadily advancing towards your Lord. You shall meet Him

Then, the one who is given his record (of deeds) in his right (hand)

Will truly face a light (and lenient) reckoning

And will happily return to his folks

But the one who is given his record of deed behind his back

Will call for (his own) death

But will roast in the fiery blaze

(In his life), he had been happy (and contented) among his kin

And (spuriously) assumed that he would never have to come back (to his Lord)

Why not? His Lord was (always) watching all his deeds

No! Really, I swear by the sunset glow

And the night, and everything it enshrouds

And the moon when it is full

You would definitely move along, from one stage to another

What is with them? Why don´t they believe

When the Qur´an is recited before them, why do they not fall prostrate

Instead, the unbelievers refuse to accept

Indeed, Allah (alone) knows what (kind of) deeds they collect

So give them the news of a painful punishment

(Which will strike all), except those who believe and perform righteous deeds. For them, there exists an unrestricted, ever-lasting reward
