In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the 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
(Peace be upon him) 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). |
