English - Chapter 84 - Al-Inshiqaq

When heaven will split asunder

When the earth will spread out

and cast out all that is within her and becomes empty

obeying her Lord’s command as she ought to

O mankind! Surely you must strive towards your Lord, a hard striving, then you shall meet Him

Then he who will be given his Book of deeds in his right hand

shall have a quick and easy reckoning

and shall return to his people rejoicing

But he who will be given his book of deeds from behind his back

shall soon be calling for death

and shall be made to enter a blazing fire

for he used to live happily with his kinfolks

and thought that he would never return to Allah for accountability

Yet, surely his Lord was ever watching

I swear by the glow of sunset

by the night and all that it gathers together

by the moon, when she grows full

that you shall gradually pass from one stage to another

What is the matter with the people that they do not believe

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

Nay! The unbelievers will deny

and Allah knows what they are hiding in their hearts

Therefore, proclaim to them a painful punishment

except those who embrace the true faith and do good deeds; for them there will be a never ending reward
