When the sky is rent asunder
and hearkens unto its Lord, as in truth it must
and when the earth is stretched out
and casts forth what is in it, emptying itself
and hearkens unto its Lord, as in truth it must.
O mankind! Truly thou art laboring unto thy Lord laboriously, and shall meet Him
As for one who is given his book in his right hand
he will be reckoned with an easy reckonin
and will return to his people joyful
But as for one who is given his book from behind his back
he will cry out for destruction
and will enter a Blaze
Truly among his people he was joyful
Truly he thought that he would never return
Nay! Truly his Lord was watchful of him
So I swear by the twilight
by the night and what it enshrouds
and by the moon when full
thou wilt surely journey from stage to stage
So what ails them that they believe not
and that when the Quran is recited unto them, they do not prostrate
Nay! Those who disbelieve deny
But God knows best what they conceal
So give them glad tidings of a painful punishment
save those who believe and perform righteous deeds; theirs shall be a reward unceasing
