Surah “The Sundering, Splitting Open”

When the heavens are rent asunder

in obedience to the commands of their Lord which are incumbent on them

when the earth is stretched out

and throws out of itself all that it contain

in obedience to the commands of its Lord which are incumbent on it, (the human being will receive due recompense for his deeds)

Human being, you strive hard to get closer to your Lord, and so you will certainly receive the recompense (of your deeds)

The reckoning of those whose Book of records will be given into their right hand

will be easy

and they will return to their people, delighte

But as for those whose Book of records will be given behind their backs

they will say, "Woe to us!"

They will suffer the heat of hell fire

They lived among their people joyfull

and had thought that they would never be brought back to life again

This is a fact. Their Lord is Well-Aware of (all that they do)

I do not need to swear by the sunset

or by the night in which things all come together to rest

or by the moon when it is full

that you will certainly pass through one stage after another

What is the matter with them? Why do they not believe

Why, when the Quran is recited to them, do they not prostrate themselves

In fact, they reject the Quran

but God knows best whatever they accumulate in their hearts

(Muhammad), tell them that they will all suffer a painful tormen

except the righteously striving believers, who will receive a never-ending reward
