WHEN THE SKY is cleft asunder,* and when the stars are scattered, and when the seas burst beyond their bounds, and when the graves are overturned - every human being will [at last] comprehend, what he has sent ahead and what he has held back [in this world].* O MAN! What is it that lures thee away from thy bountiful Sustainer,* who has created thee, and formed thee in accordance with what thou art meant' to be,* and shaped thy nature in just proportions,** having put thee together in whatever form He willed [thee to have]? Nay, [O men,] but you [are lured away from God whenever you are tempted to] give the lie to [God's] Judgment!* And yet, verily, there are ever-watchful forces over you, noble, recording, aware of whatever you do!* Behold, [in the life to come] the truly virtuous: will indeed be in bliss, whereas, behold, the wicked will indeed be in a blazing fire - [a fire] which they shall enter on Judgment Day, and which they shall not [be able to] evade. And what could make thee conceive what that Judgment Day will be? And once again: What could make thee conceive what that Judgment Day will be?* [It will be] a Day when no human being shall be of the least avail to another human being: for on that Day [it will become manifest that] all sovereignty is God's alone.
