When the sky is split ope
and gives ear to its Lord as it should
When the earth is spread out
and throws out what is in it, emptying itself
and gives ear to its Lord as it should
O man! You are labouring toward your Lord laboriously, and you will encounter Him
Then as for him who is given his record in his right hand
he shall soon receive an easy reckoning
and he will return to his folks joyfully
But as for him who is given his record from behind his back
he will pray for annihilation
and he will enter the Blaze
Indeed he used to be joyful among his folk
and indeed he thought he would never return
Yes indeed, his Lord sees him best
So I swear by the evening glow
by the night and what it is fraught with
by the moon when it blooms full
you will surely fare from stage to stage
So what is the matter with them that they will not believe
And when the Qur’an is recited to them they will not prostrate
Rather the faithless deny
and Allah knows best what they keep to themselves
So warn them of a painful punishment
except such as are faithful and do righteous deeds: there will be an everlasting reward for them
