WHEN THE SKY is cleft asunder
And hearkens to its Lord and is dutiful
When the earth is stretched out tau
And throws out whatever it contains and is empty
And hearkens to its Lord and is dutiful
O man, you have to strive and go on striving towards your Lord, then will you meet Him
And he who is given his ledger in his right han
Will have an easy reckoning
And will return to his people full of joy
But he who is given his ledger from behind his back
Will pray for death
But will be roasted in the fire
He lived rejoicing among his people
Never thinking he will return
Why not? His Lord was always watching him
So indeed I call to witness the evening twilight
And the night and all it gathers
And the moon when at the full
That you will climb from stage to stage
So, wherefore do they not believe
And when the Qur'an is recited to them do not bow in adoration
In fact the unbelievers disavow
But God knows what they harbour in their breasts
So give them news of painful punishment
Except those who believe and do the right: For them there is reward unending
