Chapter 84 - "The Rending Asunder"

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

84.1: When the heaven bursts asunder,

84.2: And obeys its Lord and it must.

84.3: And when the earth is stretched,

84.4: And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,

84.5: And obeys its Lord and it must.

84.6: O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.

84.7: Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,

84.8: He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,

84.9: And he shall go back to his people joyful.

84.10: And as to him who is given his book behind his back,

84.11: He shall call for perdition,

84.12: And enter into burning fire.

84.13: Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.

84.14: Surely he thought that he would never return.

84.15: Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.

84.16: But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

84.17: And the night and that which it drives on,

84.18: And the moon when it grows full,

84.19: That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.

84.20: But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

84.21: And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?

84.22: Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.

84.23: And Allah knows best what they hide,

84.24: So announce to them a painful punishments

84.25: Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
