When the heaven shall be rent in sunder
and shall obey its Lord, and shall be capable thereof
and when the earth shall be stretched out
and shall cast forth that which is therein, and shall remain empty
and shall obey its Lord, and shall be capable thereof
O man, verily labouring thou labourest to meet thy Lord, and thou shalt meet Him
And he who shall have his book given into his right hand
shall be called to an easy account
and shall turn unto his family with joy
But he who shall have his book given him behind his back
shall invoke destruction to fall upon him
and he shall be sent into hell to be burned
because he rejoiced insolently amidst his family on earth
Verily he thought that he should never return unto God
Yea verily; but his Lord beheld him
Wherefore I swear by the redness of the sky after sun-set
and by the night, and the animals which it driveth together
and by the moon when she is at the full
ye shall surely be transferred successively from state to state
What aileth them, therefore, that they believe not the resurrection
and that, when the Koran is read unto them, they worship not
Yea: The unbelievers accuse the same of imposture
But God well knoweth the malice which they keep hidden in their breasts
Wherefore denounce unto them a grievous punishment
except those who believe and do good works: For them is prepared a never failing reward
