|
When the heaven
bursts asunder,
|
|
2.
|
|
And listens to its
Lord and is made fit;
|
|
3.
|
|
And when the earth
is stretched,
|
|
4.
|
|
And casts forth
what is in it and becomes empty,
|
|
5.
|
|
And listens to its
Lord and is made fit.
|
|
6.
|
|
O man, thou must
strive a hard striving (to attain) to thy Lord,
until thou meet Him.
|
|
7.
|
|
Then as to him who
is given his book in his right hand,
|
|
8.
|
|
His account will
be taken by an easy reckoning,
|
|
9.
|
|
And he will go
back to his people rejoicing.
|
|
10.
|
|
And as to him who
is given his book behind his back,
|
|
11.
|
|
He will call for
perdition,
|
|
12.
|
|
And enter into
burning Fire.
|
|
13.
|
|
Surely he was
(erstwhile) joyful among his people.
|
|
14.
|
|
Surely he thought
that he would never return (to Allah) --
|
|
15.
|
|
Yea, surely his
Lord is ever Seer of him.
|
|
16.
|
|
But nay, I call to
witness the sunset redness,
|
|
17.
|
|
And the night and
that which it drives on,
|
|
18.
|
|
And the moon when
it grows full,
|
|
19.
|
|
That you shall
certainly ascend to one state after
another.
|
|
20.
|
|
But what is the
matter with them that they believe not?
|
|
21.
|
|
And, when the Quran is
recited to them, they adore (Him) not?
(Prostration)
|
|
22.
|
|
Nay, those who disbelieve
give the lie --
|
|
23.
|
|
And Allah knows best what
they hide.
|
|
24.
|
|
So announce to them a painful
chastisement,
|
|
25.
|
|
Except those who believe and
do good -- for them is a reward that shall never be
cut off.
