When heaven will split asunder,[1] obeying it Rabb’s command as it ought to.[2] When the earth will spread out[3] and cast out all that is within it and becomes empty,[4] obeying it Rabb’s command as it ought to.[5] That will be the Day of your accountability, O mankind! Surely you must strive towards your Rabb, a hard striving, then you shall meet Him.[6] Then he who will be given his Book of deeds in his right hand,[7] shall have a quick and easy reckoning[8] and shall return to his people rejoicing.[9] But he who will be given his book of deeds from behind his back,[10] shall soon be calling for death,[11] and shall be made to enter a blazing fire;[12] for he used to live happily with his kinfolks[13] and thought that he would never return to Allah for accountability.[14] Yet, surely his Rabb was ever watching over his misdeeds.[15] I swear by the glow of sunset;[16] by the night and all that it gathers together;[17] by the moon, when she grows full:[18] that you shall gradually pass from one stage to another.[19]

What is the matter with the people that they do not believe,[20] and when the Qur’an is recited to them, they do not prostrate?[21] Nay! The unbelievers will deny;[22] and Allah knows what they are hiding in their hearts.[23] Therefore, proclaim to them a painful punishment,[24] except those who embrace the true faith and do good deeds; for them there will be a never ending reward.[25]
