Surah “The Sundering, Splitting Open”

as rendered by A.L. Bilal Muhammad et al (2018) — 25 verses

When the universe is ripped apart
And it listens to its Guardian Evolver, as it must
And when the earth is flattened out
And casts up what is within it and becomes empty
And listens to its Lord, as it must
O human beings, indeed you are toiling on towards your Lord, ever toiling, but you will meet Him
Then he who is given his record in his right hand
Soon his account will be taken by an easy reckoning
And he will turn to his people rejoicing
But he who is given his record behind his back
Soon he will cry for perdition
And he will enter a blazing fire
Indeed he went about among his people, rejoicing
Indeed he thought that he would not have to return to Us
No, no, for his Lord was watchful of him
So I call to witness the ruddy glow of sunset
The night and its homing
And the moon in its fullness
You will surely travel from stage to stage
What then is the matter with them that they do not believe
And when the Quran is read to them, they do not fall prostrate
But instead the unbelievers reject it
But God has full knowledge of what they hide
So announce to them a terrible penalty
Except to those who believe and do righteous deeds, for them is a reward that will never fail
