> SURA LXXXIV (84) - The Splitting Asunder (Mecca - 25 Verses)  (XXXIII - 46)     
>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
>  
>        When the Heaven shall have Split Asunder
>  
>        And duteously obeyed its Lord;
>  
>        And when Earth shall have been stretched out as a plain,
>  
>        And shall have cast forth what was in her and become empty,
>  
>        And duteously obeyed its Lord;
>  
>        Then verily, O man, who desirest to reach thy Lord, shalt thou meet him.
>  
>        And he into whose right hand his Book shall be given,
>  
>        Shall be reckoned with in an easy reckoning,
>  
>        And shall turn, rejoicing, to his kindred.
>  
> 84:10  But he whose Book shall be given him behind his back
>  
>        Shall invoke destruction:
>  
>        But in the fire shall he burn,
>  
>        For that he lived joyously among his kindred,
>  
>        Without a thought that he should return to God.
>  
>        Yea, but his Lord beheld him.
>  
>        It needs not therefore that I swear by the sunset redness,
>  
>        And by the night and its gatherings,
>  
>        And by the moon when at her full,
>  
>        That from state to state shall ye be surely carried onward.
>  
> 84:20  What then hath come to them that they believe not?
>  
>        And that when the Koran is recited to them they adore not?
>  
>        Yea, the unbelievers treat it as a lie.
>  
>        But God knoweth their secret hatreds:
>  
>        Let their only tidings be those of painful punishment;
>  
>        Save to those who believe and do the things that be right.  An unfailing
> recompense shall be theirs.
