When the sky has split [open] 2And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] 3And when the earth has been extended 4And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it] 5And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] 6O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it 7Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand 8He will be judged with an easy account 9And return to his people in happiness 10But as for he who is given his record behind his back 11He will cry out for destruction 12And [enter to] burn in a Blaze 13Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness 14Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah] 15But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing 16So I swear by the twilight glow 17And [by] the night and what it envelops 18And [by] the moon when it becomes full 19[That] you will surely experience state after state 20So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe 21And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah] 22But those who have disbelieved deny 23And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves 24So give them tidings of a painful punishment 25Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted
