When the sky has split [open] 1

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] 2

And when the earth has been extended 3

And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it] 4

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] - 5

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it. 6

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand, 7

He will be judged with an easy account 8

And return to his people in happiness. 9

But as for he who is given his record behind his back, 10

He will cry out for destruction 11

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze. 12

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness; 13

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah ]. 14

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing. 15

So I swear by the twilight glow 16

And [by] the night and what it envelops 17

And [by] the moon when it becomes full 18

[That] you will surely experience state after state. 19

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe, 20

And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah ]? 21

But those who have disbelieved deny, 22

And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves. 23

So give them tidings of a painful punishment, 24

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted. 25
