When the sky bursts open,
hearkening to its Lord as it is bound to do!
When the earth is flattened out
and disgorges what is inside it and empties out,
hearkening to its Lord as it is bound to do!
O Man! You are toiling laboriously towards your Lord but meet Him you will!
As for him who is given his Book in his right hand,
he will be given an easy reckoning
and return to his family joyfully.
But as for him who is given his Book behind his back,
he will cry out for destruction
but will be roasted in a Searing Blaze.
He used to be joyful in his family.
He thought that he was never going to return.
But in fact his Lord was always watching him!
No, I swear by the evening glow,
and the night and all it shrouds,
and the moon when it is full,
you will mount up stage by stage!
What is the matter with them that they have no iman
and, when the Qur´an is recited to them, do not prostrate?
In fact those who are kafir say that it is lies.
But Allah knows best what they are storing in their hearts.
Give them the news of a painful punishment —
except those who have iman and do right actions: they will have a wage which never fails.
