:1. When the sky is rent asunder,
:2. And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);-
:3. And when the earth is flattened out,
:4. And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
:5. And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality).
:6. O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.
:7. Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
:8. Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
:9. And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
:10. But he who is given his Record behind his back,-
:11. Soon will he cry for perdition,
:12. And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
:13. Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
:14. Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
:15. Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
:16. So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
:17. The Night and its Homing;
:18. And the Moon in her fullness:
:19. Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
:20. What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-
:21. And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
:22. But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
:23. But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
:24. So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
:25. Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
