malik
 
1.  *     When heaven will split asunder,[1]
 
2.  *     obeying her Lord’s command as she ought to.[2]
 
3.  *     When the earth will spread out[3]
 
4.  *     and cast out all that is within her and becomes  empty,[4]
 
5.  *     obeying her Lord’s command as she ought to.[5]
 
6.  *     , O mankind! Surely you  must strive towards your Lord, a hard striving, then you shall meet Him.[6]
 
7.  *     Then he  who will be given his Book of deeds in his right hand,[7]
 
8.  *     shall have a quick and easy  reckoning[8]
 
9.  *     and shall return to his people rejoicing.[9]
 
10.  *     But he who will be given his  book of deeds from behind his back,[10]
 
11.  *     shall soon be calling for death,[11]
 
12.  *     and shall  be made to enter a blazing fire;[12]
 
13.  *     for he used to live happily with his kinfolks[13]
 
14.  *     and thought that he would never return to Allah for accountability.[14]
 
15.  *     Yet, surely his  Lord was ever watching.[15]
 
16.  *     I swear by the glow of sunset;[16]
 
17.  *     by the night and all  that it gathers together;[17]
 
18.  *     by the moon, when she grows full:[18]
 
19.  *     that you shall  gradually pass from one stage to another.[19]
 
20.  *     What is the matter with the people that they do not believe,[20]
 
21.  *     and when the Qur’an  is recited to them, they do not prostrate?[21]
 
22.  *     Nay! The unbelievers will deny;[22]
 
23.  *     and  Allah knows what they are hiding in their hearts.[23]
 
24.  *     Therefore, proclaim to them a  painful punishment,[24]
 
25.  *     except those who embrace the true faith and do good deeds;  for them there will be a never ending reward.[25]
