084 : The Sundering

84:1

 

When the sky is rent asunder,

 

84:2

 

And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);−

 

84:3

 

And when the earth is flattened out,

 

84:4

 

And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,

 

84:5

 

And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,− and it must needs (do so);− (then will come Home the full reality).

 

84:6

 

O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord− painfully toiling,− but thou shalt meet Him.

 

84:7

 

Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

 

84:8

 

Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

 

84:9

 

And he will turn to his people, rejoicing! But he who is given his Record behind his back,−

 

84:11

 

Soon will he cry for perdition,

 

84:12

 

And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

 

84:13

 

Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!

 

84:14

 

Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!

 

84:15

 

Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!

 

84:16

 

So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

 

84:17

 

The Night and its Homing;

 

84:18

 

And the Moon in her fullness:

 

84:19

 

Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage. What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?−

 

84:21

 

And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

 

84:22

 

But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

 

84:23

 

But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)

 

84:24

 

So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

 

84:25

 

Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
