AL INSYIQAAQ

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

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!

84-10

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.

84-20

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 God 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.
