> Surah 84
> 
> Al Inshiqaq (The Rending Asunder)
> 
> In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
> 
> 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 the 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.
