| 1. * | When the heaven shall be rent in sunder, |
| 2. * | and shall obey its Lord, and shall be capable thereof; |
| 3. * | and when the earth shall be stretched out, |
| 4. * | and shall cast forth that which is therein, and shall remain empty, |
| 5. * | and shall obey its Lord, and shall be capable thereof: |
| 6. * | O man, verily labouring thou labourest to meet thy Lord, and thou shalt meet Him. |
| 7. * | And he who shall have his book given into his right hand, |
| 8. * | shall be called to an easy account, |
| 9. * | and shall turn unto his family with joy: |
| 10. * | But he who shall have his book given him behind his back, |
| 11. * | shall invoke destruction to fall upon him, |
| 12. * | and he shall be sent into hell to be burned; |
| 13. * | because he rejoiced insolently amidst his family on earth. |
| 14. * | Verily he thought that he should never return unto God: |
| 15. * | Yea verily; but his Lord beheld him. |
| 16. * | Wherefore I swear by the redness of the sky after sun-set, |
| 17. * | and by the night, and the animals which it driveth together, |
| 18. * | and by the moon when she is at the full; |
| 19. * | ye shall surely be transferred successively from state to state. |
| 20. * | What aileth them, therefore, that they believe not the resurrection; |
| 21. * | and that, when the Koran is read unto them, they worship not? |
| 22. * | Yea: The unbelievers accuse the same of imposture: |
| 23. * | But God well knoweth the malice which they keep hidden in their breasts. |
| 24. * | Wherefore denounce unto them a grievous punishment, |
| 25. * | except those who believe and do good works: For them is prepared a never failing reward. |
