84:1  When the Sky is rent asunder. (The high Space will be explored and Astronomy will bring knowledge of the Cosmos)

84:2  It will listen to its Lord for that is what it has been decreed to do

84:3  And when the earth is spread out. (It becomes widely inhabited)

84:4  And casts out whatever is in it and becomes void. (The earth will bring forth its fossils and minerals through Archaeology, drilling and mining)

84:5  It will listen to its Lord for that is what it has been decreed to do

84:6  O Man! Behold, You have been toiling hard toward your Lord - painfully toiling - then you shall meet Him

84:7  Then whoever is given his Book in his right hand, (The follower of this Revelation is indeed blessed, for)

84:8  He truly reckons the decisions of his life with ease

84:9  And returns rejoicing to his folk (the Ideologically synchronous minds)

84:10  But as for him who is given his Book behind his back (he who has turned his back to the Book, looking back to the ancestral traditions)

84:11  He will be inviting upon himself chaos

84:12  And enter the Blazing Flame

84:13  Behold, he used to enjoy the company of his own kind

84:14  For, behold, he deemed that life would never quit revolving like this

84:15  Nay, but behold, his Lord did see all his mettle. ('Bihi' = In him = His true worth = His mettle)

84:16  Oh, I call to witness the Rosy Afterglow of sunset

84:17  And the Night and all that it enshrouds

84:18  And the Moon as it steadily grows to her fullness

84:19  That you will traverse higher and higher from one plane to another. (Civilizations will keep advancing in sciences, and individuals will always have a chance to grow in goodness. Furthermore, evolution of the 'Self' will carry on in the life to come)

84:20  What, then, is the matter with them that they believe not (in a higher form of life?

84:21  And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they prostrate not! (They adore not and humble themselves not before the eloquence, Wisdom and Majesty of the Divine Word!

84:22  Nay, but the rejecters belie

84:23  And Allah is best Knower of what they hide. (Their idols, peer pressure, traditions, malice, schemes, vested interests)

84:24  So give them the tiding of an awful doom

84:25  Except to those who choose to be graced with belief and do acts that help people - for them is a reward unending
