When the sky splits apart
And heeds its Lord´s command, as it truly must
When the earth distends
Casts off its contents, and becomes bare and blank
It will heed its Lord´s command, as it truly must
Oh man! Indeed, you are steadily advancing towards your Lord. You shall meet Him
Then, the one who is given his record (of deeds) in his right (hand)
Will truly face a light (and lenient) reckoning
And will happily return to his folks
But the one who is given his record of deed behind his back
Will call for (his own) death
But will roast in the fiery blaze
(In his life), he had been happy (and contented) among his kin
And (spuriously) assumed that he would never have to come back (to his Lord)
Why not? His Lord was (always) watching all his deeds
No! Really, I swear by the sunset glow
And the night, and everything it enshrouds
And the moon when it is full
You would definitely move along, from one stage to another
What is with them? Why don´t they believe
When the Qur´an is recited before them, why do they not fall prostrate
Instead, the unbelievers refuse to accept
Indeed, Allah (alone) knows what (kind of) deeds they collect
So give them the news of a painful punishment
(Which will strike all), except those who believe and perform righteous deeds. For them, there exists an unrestricted, ever-lasting reward
