In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. |

1. |
When the heaven is split asunder, |
2. |
And listens and obeys its Lord, and it must do so; |
3. |
And when the earth is stretched forth, |
4. |
And has cast out all that was in it and became empty, |
5. |
And listens and obeys its Lord, and it must do so; |
6. |
O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, so you will meet (i.e. the results of your deeds which you did). |
7. |
Then, as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand, |
8. |
He surely will receive an easy reckoning, |
9. |
And will return to his family in joy! |
10. |
But whosoever is given his Record behind his back, |
11. |
He will invoke (his) destruction, |
12. |
And shall enter a blazing Fire, and made to taste its burning. |
13. |
Verily, he was among his people in joy! |
14. |
Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)! |
15. |
Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him! |
16. |
So I swear by the afterglow of sunset; |
17. |
And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness; |
18. |
And by the moon when it is at the full, |
19. |
You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter). |
20. |
What is the matter with them, that they believe not? |
21. |
And when the Qur'ân is recited to them, they fall not prostrate, ۩ |
22. |
Nay, (on the contrary), those who disbelieve, belie. (Prophet Muhammad and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'ân and Islâmic Monotheism, etc.) |
23. |
And Allâh knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds), |
24. |
So announce to them a painful torment. |
25. |
Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise). ********* |
