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. |
