When the sky is ripped apart
Translation 1260
One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
When the sky is ripped apart
Translation 1260
obeying its Lord as it rightly must
Translation 1260
when the earth is levelled out
Translation 1260
casts out its contents, and becomes empty
Translation 1260
obeying its Lord as it rightly must
Translation 1260
you humans, toiling laboriously towards your Lord, will meet Him
Translation 1260
whoever is given his record in his right hand
Translation 1260
will have an easy reckoning
Translation 1260
and return to his people well pleased
Translation 1260
but whoever is given his record from behind his back
Translation 1260
will cry out for destruction––
Translation 1260
he will burn in the blazing Fire
Translation 1260
He used to live among his people well pleased
Translation 1260
He thought he would never return [to his Lord]––
Translation 1260
indeed he will! His Lord was watching him
Translation 1260
I swear by the glow of sunset
Translation 1260
by the night and what it covers
Translation 1260
by the full moon
Translation 1260
you will progress from stage to stage
Translation 1260
So why do they not believe
Translation 1260
Why, when the Quran is read to them, do they not prostrate themselves [to God]
Translation 1260
No! The disbelievers reject the Quran––
Translation 1260
God knows best what they keep hidden inside––
Translation 1260
so give them news of a painful torment
Translation 1260
But those who believe and do good deeds will have a never-ending reward
Translation 1260
By the sky with its towering constellations
Translation 1260
by the promised Day
Translation 1260
by the Witness and that which is witnessed
Translation 1260
damned were the makers of the trench
Translation 1260
the makers of the fuel-stoked fire
Translation 1260
They sat down
Translation 1260
to watch what they were doing to the believers
Translation 1260
Their only grievance against them was their faith in God, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy
Translation 1260
to whom all control over the heavens and earth belongs: God is witness over all things
Translation 1260
For those who persecute believing men and women, and do not repent afterwards, there will be the torment of Hell and burning
Translation 1260
But for those who believe and do good deeds there will be Gardens graced with flowing streams: that is the great triumph
Translation 1260
[Prophet], your Lord’s punishment is truly stern––
Translation 1260
it is He who brings people to life, and will restore them to life again––
Translation 1260
and He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Loving
Translation 1260
The Glorious Lord of the Throne
Translation 1260
He does whatever He will
Translation 1260
Have you [not] heard the stories of the forces
Translation 1260
of Pharaoh and Thamud
Translation 1260
Yet still the disbelievers persist in denial
Translation 1260
God surrounds them all
Translation 1260
This is truly a glorious Quran
Translation 1260
[written] on a preserved Tablet
Translation 1260
By the sky and the night-comer––
Translation 1260
What will explain to you what the night-comer is
Translation 1260
The piercing star––
Translation 1260
there is a watcher over every soul
Translation 1260
Man should reflect on what he was created from
Translation 1260
He is created from spurting fluid
Translation 1260
then he emerges from between the backbone and breastbone
Translation 1260
God is certainly able to bring him back to life
Translation 1260
On the Day when secrets are laid bare
Translation 1260
he will have no power and no one to help him
Translation 1260
By the sky and its recurring rain
Translation 1260
by the earth that cracks open
Translation 1260
This is truly a decisive statement
Translation 1260
it is not something to be taken lightly
Translation 1260
They plot and scheme
Translation 1260
but so do I
Translation 1260
[Prophet], let the disbelievers be, let them be for a while
Translation 1260
