1When the sky has split [open]

2And has listened [i.e., responded]¹⁷⁶⁰ to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

3And when the earth has been extended¹⁷⁶¹

4And has cast out that within it¹⁷⁶² and relinquished [it]

5And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] –

6O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion¹⁷⁶³ and will meet it.¹⁷⁶⁴

7Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

8He will be judged with an easy account

9And return to his people in happiness.

10But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

11He will cry out for destruction

12And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

13Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

14Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allāh].

15But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever, of him, Seeing.

16So I swear by the twilight glow

17And [by] the night and what it envelops

18And [by] the moon when it becomes full

19[That] you will surely embark upon [i.e., experience] state after state.¹⁷⁶⁵

20So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

21And when the Qur'ān is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allāh]?

22But those who have disbelieved deny,

23And Allāh is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

24So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

25Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
