1.  *     When the sky is rent asunder,
 
2.  *     And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);-
 
3.  *     And when the earth is flattened out,
 
4.  *     And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
 
5.  *     And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality).
 
6.  *     O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.
 
7.  *     Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
 
8.  *     Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
 
9.  *     And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
 
10.  *     But he who is given his Record behind his back,-
 
11.  *     Soon will he cry for perdition,
 
12.  *     And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
 
13.  *     Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
 
14.  *     Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
 
15.  *     Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
 
16.  *     So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
 
17.  *     The Night and its Homing;
 
18.  *     And the Moon in her fullness:
 
19.  *     Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
 
20.  *     What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-
 
21.  *     And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
 
22.  *     But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
 
23.  *     But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
 
24.  *     So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
 
25.  *     Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
