Verses: 25
| 1 | When heaven is rent asunder | |
| 2 | and gives ear to its Lord, and is fitly disposed; | |
| 3 | when earth is stretched out | |
| 4 | and casts forth what is in it, and voids itself, | |
| 5 | and gives ear to its Lord, and is fitly disposed! | |
| 6 | O Man! Thou art labouring unto thy Lord laboriously, and thou shalt encounter Him. | |
| 7 | Then as for him who is given his book in his right hand, | |
| 8 | he shall surely receive an easy reckoning | |
| 9 | and he will return to his family joyfully. | |
| 10 | But as for him who is given his book behind his back, | |
| 11 | he shall call for destruction | |
| 12 | and he shall roast at a Blaze. | |
| 13 | He once lived among his family joyfully; | |
| 14 | he surely thought he would never revert. | |
| 15 | Yes indeed; his Lord had sight of him. | |
| 16 | No! I swear by the twilight | |
| 17 | and the night and what it envelops | |
| 18 | and the moon when it is at the full, | |
| 19 | you shall surely ride stage after stage. | |
| 20 | Then what ails them, that they believe not, | |
| 21 | and when the Koran is recited to them they do not bow? | |
| 22 | Nay, but the unbelievers are crying lies, | |
| 23 | and God knows very well what they are secreting. | |
| 24 | So give them good tidings of a painful chastisement, | |
| 25 | except those that believe, and do righteous deeds -- theirs shall be a wage unfailing. |
