English - Chapter 84 - Al-Inshiqaq

When the heaven is rent asunder

And gives ear unto its Lord, and is dutiful

And when the earth is stretched out

And casts forth what is within it, and is emptied (or clean)

And gives ear unto its Lord, and is dutiful

O man! Verily, you are toiling on towards your Lord, painfully toiling; wherefore shall you meet Him

And as for him who is given his record in his right hand

His account shall be taken with an easy reckoning

And he shall go back to his people rejoicing

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

He shall call out for destruction

Verily, he was amongst his family joyful

Verily, he thought that he should never return to Allah

Nay, nay! Verily, his Lord did watch him

So I do call as witness the glow of sunset

Or the night, and its homing

Or the moon in her fullness

You shall surely travel from stage to stage

What ails them that they believe not

And, when the Quran is read to them, they fall not prostrate

On the contrary, the unbelievers reject it

But Allah knows best the (malice) that they hide

So announce to them the grievous woe

Save those who believe and work right. For them is an unfailing reward
