SPLITTING OPEN
Revealed before the Hijrah. This chapter has 25 verses.
In the name of God,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful
| 84:1 | When the sky is rent asunder, |
| 84:2 | And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);- |
| 84:3 | And when the earth is flattened out, |
| 84:4 | And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty, |
| 84:5 | And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality). |
| 84:6 | O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him. |
| 84:7 | Then he who is given his Record in his right hand, |
| 84:8 | Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning, |
| 84:9 | And he will turn to his people, rejoicing! |
| 84:10 | But he who is given his Record behind his back,- |
| 84:11 | Soon will he cry for perdition, |
| 84:12 | And he will enter a Blazing Fire. |
| 84:13 | Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing! |
| 84:14 | Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)! |
| 84:15 | Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him! |
| 84:16 | So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset; |
| 84:17 | The Night and its Homing; |
| 84:18 | And the Moon in her fullness: |
| 84:19 | Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage. |
| 84:20 | What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?- |
| 84:21 | And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate, |
| 84:22 | But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it). |
| 84:23 | But God has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts) |
| 84:24 | So announce to them a Penalty Grievous, |
| 84:25 | Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail. |
