Chapter 84 (Sura 84)
1; WHEN THE SKY is cleft asunder,
2; And hearkens to its Lord and is dutiful,
3; When the earth is stretched out taut
4; And throws out whatever it contains and is empty,
5; And hearkens to its Lord and is dutiful,
6; O man, you have to strive and go on striving towards your Lord, then will you meet Him.
7; And he who is given his ledger in his right hand
8; Will have an easy reckoning,
9; And will return to his people full of joy.
10; But he who is given his ledger from behind his back
11; Will pray for death,
12; But will be roasted in the fire.
13; He lived rejoicing among his people,
14; Never thinking he will return.
15; Why not? His Lord was always watching him.
16; So indeed I call to witness the evening twilight,
17; And the night and all it gathers,
18; And the moon when at the full,
19; That you will climb from stage to stage.
20; So, wherefore do they not believe?
21; And when the Qur´an is recited to them do not bow in adoration?
22; In fact the unbelievers disavow.
23; But God knows what they harbour in their breasts.
24; So give them news of painful punishment,
25; Except those who believe and do the right: For them there is reward unending.
