بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
84:1
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
When the sky is rent asunder,
84:2
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
and hearkens to its Lord¹, as it must,
84:3
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
and when the earth is leveled out²,
84:4
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
and casts out all what it contains³, and becomes empty,
84:5
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
and hearkens to its Lord, as it must,
84:6
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
O humans, you are toiling towards your Lord⁴, and you will surely meet Him⁵.
84:7
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
Whoever is given his Record in his right hand,
84:8
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
he will have an easy reckoning,
84:9
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
and he will return to his people joyfully.
84:10
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
But whoever is given his Record from behind his back,
84:11
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
he will call out for destruction,
84:12
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
and he will enter the Blazing Fire.
84:13
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Indeed, he used to live among his people joyfully.
84:14
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
and he thought that he would never return [to Allah].
84:15
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
Indeed he will! His Lord was always watching him.
84:16
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
Indeed, I swear by the twilight,
84:17
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
and by the night and what it covers,
84:18
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
and by the moon when it becomes full,
84:19
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
You will surely pass from one stage to another⁶.
84:20
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Then what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
84:21
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
and when the Qur’an is recited to them, they do not prostrate?
84:22
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
Rather, the disbelievers persist in denying it,
84:23
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
but Allah knows best whatever they harbor in their hearts.
84:24
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
So give them the tidings of a painful punishment.
84:25
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
But those who believe and do righteous deeds will have a never-ending reward.
