Quran

Abdullah Yusuf Ali [En]

[1] When the sky is rent asunder,

[2] And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);-

[3] And when the earth is flattened out,

[4] And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,

[5] And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality).

[6] O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.

[7] Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

[8] Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

[9] And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

[10] But he who is given his Record behind his back,-

[11] Soon will he cry for perdition,

[12] And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

[13] Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!

[14] Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!

[15] Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!

[16] So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

[17] The Night and its Homing;

[18] And the Moon in her fullness:

[19] Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

[20] What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-

[21] And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

[22] But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

[23] But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)

[24] So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

[25] Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
