English - Chapter 84 - Al-Inshiqaq

When the heaven bursts asunder

And obeys its Lord and it must

And when the earth is stretched

And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty

And obeys its Lord and it must

O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him

Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand

He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning

And he shall go back to his people joyful

And as to him who is given his book behind his back

He shall call for perdition

And enter into burning fire

Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers

Surely he thought that he would never return

Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him

But nay! I swear by the sunset redness

And the night and that which it drives on

And the moon when it grows full

That you shall most certainly enter one state after another

But what is the matter with them that they do not believe

And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance

Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth

And Allah knows best what they hide

So announce to them a painful punishment

Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off
