Read the Full Text with References to the Torah and the Gospel

84:1
When the heaven has split [open]

84:2
And has responded to its Lord, as it truly must.

84:3
And when the earth has been flattened out *Baruch 5:7, *Shepherd of Hermas 3:4

84:4
And has cast out that within it *Isaiah 26:19 and becomes empty,

84:5
And has responded to its Lord, as it truly must.

84:6
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet Him.

84:7
Then as for he who is given his record in his right [hand],

84:8
Then he will soon be reckoned with an easy account

84:9
And return to his people in happiness.

84:10
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

84:11
Then he will soon cry out for destruction

84:12
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

84:13
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

84:14
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to God].

84:15
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was [always] Seeing of him.

84:16
So I swear by the twilight glow

84:17
And [by] the night and what it envelops

84:18
And [by] the moon when it becomes full

84:19
[That] you will surely travel from stage to stage.

84:20
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

84:21
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to God]?

84:22
But those who have disbelieved deny,

84:23
And God is most knowing of what they keep [within themselves].

84:24
So give them good news of a painful punishment,

84:25
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. There is a reward for them without end.
