English - Chapter 84 - Al-Inshiqaq

When the sky bursts open

and obeys its Lord as it must

when the earth flattens out

and casts out all that is within it and becomes empty

and obeys its Lord as it must

O man, having striven hard towards your Lord, you shall meet Him

he who is given his record in his right hand

shall have an easy reckoning

and he shall return to his people, joyfully

but as for him whose record shall be given to him from behind his back

he will pray for utter destruction

and he will enter the blazing flame

He used to be happy with his own people

for he never thought that he would have to return [to God]

But he will indeed! His Lord was ever watching him

I swear by the glow of sunset

by the night and what it covers

and the moon when it grows full

you will progress from stage to stage

What is wrong with them that they do not believe

When the Quran is read to them, why do they not fall to their knees

Indeed, those who are bent on denying the truth reject it

God is quite aware of what they are storing in their hearts

Therefore, give them the news of a painful punishment

But for those who believe and do good works; for them there shall be a never-ending reward
