84:1 إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ

When the sky has split [open]

84:2 وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

84:3 وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

And when the earth has been extended

84:4 وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

84:5 وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] –

84:6 يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.

84:7 فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

84:8 فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

He will be judged with an easy account

84:9 وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

And return to his people in happiness.

84:10 وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

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

84:11 فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

He will cry out for destruction

84:12 وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

84:13 إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

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

84:14 إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].

84:15 بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.

84:16 فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

So I swear by the twilight glow

84:17 وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

And [by] the night and what it envelops

84:18 وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

84:19 لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ

[That] you will surely experience state after state.

84:20 فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

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

84:21 وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩

And when the Qur’an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?

84:22 بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

But those who have disbelieved deny,

84:23 وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

84:24 فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

84:25 إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
