English - Chapter 84 - Al-Inshiqaq

When the sky splits asunder

And responds to its Lord, and it is bound [to respond]

And when the earth is levelled

And it throws out its contents, and becomes void

And responds to its Lord, and it is bound [to respond]

O human! You do indeed have to put in hard labour to go to your Lord, and then you meet Him

And as for him whose book of deeds is placed in his right hand

He will then face his accounting with ease

And he will turn to his own people in joy

And as for him whose book of deeds is given to him behind his back

And he will burn in blazing Fire

He had indeed been living happily engrossed [on earth] among people of his own kind

He had indeed thought he would never return [to life]

Yes indeed! His Lord had kept a watch over him

But no! [He shall not continue to remain dead.] I swear by the afterglow of sunset

And by the night, and what it veils in its darkness

And by the moon, at its full

You [humans] do move from stage to stage

Then how come they believe not [in a life to come]

And when the Qur'aan is read out to them, they prostrate not

On the contrary, they who suppress the truth dny it [this divine writ]

And Allah knows what they keep to themselves

So give them the prospect of grievous suffering [in the life to come]

But not to those who believe and do good deeds. For them is there a reward unending
