Surah 84

1 When the heaven is split asunder

2 And attentive to her Lord in fear,

3 And when the earth is spread out

4 And has cast out all that was in her, and is empty

5 And attentive to her Lord in fear!

6 You, verily, O man, are working toward your Lord a work which you will meet (in His presence).

7 Then whoso is given his account in his right hand

8 He truly will receive an easy reckoning

9 And will return to his folk in joy.

10 But whoso is given his account behind his back,

11 He surely will invoke destruction

12 And be thrown to scorching fire.

13 He verily lived joyous with his folk,

14 He verily deemed that he would never return (to Allah).

15 No, but see! his Lord is ever looking on him!

16 Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

17 And by the night and all that it enshrouds,

18 And by the moon when she is at the full,

19 That you shall journey on from plane to plane.

20 What ails them, then, that they believe not

21 And, when the Qur’an is recited to them, worship not (Allah) ?

22 No, but those who disbelieve will deny;

23 And Allah knows best what they are hiding.

24 So give them tidings of a painful doom,

25 Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
