When the heaven bursts asunder
And listens to its Lord and is made fit
And when the earth is stretched
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty
And listens to its Lord and is made fit
O man, thou must strive a hard striving (to attain) to thy Lord, until thou meet Him
Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand
His account will be taken by an easy reckoning
And he will go back to his people rejoicing
And as to him who is given his book behind his back
He will call for perdition
And enter into burning Fire
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his people
Surely he thought that he would never return (to Allah) -
Yea, surely his Lord is ever Seer of him
But nay, I call to witness the sunset redness
And the night and that which it drives on
And the moon when it grows full
That you shall certainly ascend to one state after another
But what is the matter with them that they believe not
And, when the Qur’an is recited to thee, they adore (him) not
Nay, those who disbelieve give the lie -
And Allah knows best what they hide
So announce to them a painful chastisement
Except those who believe and do good -- for them is a reward that shall never be cut off
