84: The Sundering, Splitting Open
|
| 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'án is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
|
| 22 |
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
|
| 23 |
But God 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.
