English - Chapter 84 - Al-Inshiqaq

When the sky is rent asunder

and hearkens to the command of its Lord, doing what it should

and when the earth is stretched out

and casts out what is within it and is emptied

and hearkens to the command of its Lord, doing what it should

O man, you are striving unto your Lord and you will meet Him

Whoever is given the Record in his right hand

shall be called to an easy accounting

and shall return to his people joyfully

But he who is given the Record behind his back

shall cry for "perdition

and will enter the Blazing Fire

He used to live joyfully among his people

thinking he would never revert (to Us)

But no; (how would he not revert)? His Lord was ever watching him

Nay; I swear by the twilight

and by the night and what it enfolds

and by the moon, when it reaches its fullness

you shall proceed onwards from stage to stage

So, what is the matter with them that they do not believe

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

Instead, the unbelievers reject it, calling it a lie

Allah knows best what they are accumulating (in their Record)

So give them the good news of a painful chastisement

except for those who believe and do good deeds. Theirs shall be an unending reward
