84 - The Bursting Asund |
|
|
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. |
|
|
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 Quran 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 Chastisement Grievous, |
|
25 | Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: for them is a Reward that will never fail. |
