| 084.000 The Sundering
|
| 084.001 |
When the heaven is split asunder |
| 084.002 |
And attentive to her Lord in fear, |
| 084.003 |
And when the earth is spread out |
| 084.004 |
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty |
| 084.005 |
And attentive to her Lord in fear! |
| 084.006 |
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence). |
| 084.007 |
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand |
| 084.008 |
He truly will receive an easy reckoning |
| 084.009 |
And will return unto his folk in joy. |
| 084.010 |
But whoso is given his account behind his back, |
| 084.011 |
He surely will invoke destruction |
| 084.012 |
And be thrown to scorching fire. |
| 084.013 |
He verily lived joyous with his folk, |
| 084.014 |
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah). |
| 084.015 |
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him! |
| 084.016 |
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset, |
| 084.017 |
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth, |
| 084.018 |
And by the moon when she is at the full, |
| 084.019 |
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane. |
| 084.020 |
What aileth them, then, that they believe not |
| 084.021 |
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ? |
| 084.022 |
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny; |
| 084.023 |
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding. |
| 084.024 |
So give them tidings of a painful doom, |
| 084.025 |
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing. |
