| 84:1 | | The time will come&hellip |
| 84:2 | | … when the sky will submit to the will of its Creator and cracks down into pieces |
| 84:3 | | The time will come that earth will be leveled |
| 84:4 | | On that day the earth&hellip |
| 84:5 | | … will submit to the will of its Creator and explode into pieces into skies |
| 84:6 | | Know that man one day will meet his Creator. Meanwhile, he has to struggle hard to earn his Lord’s pleasure |
| 84:7 | | The one who is given his record to his right hand&hellip |
| 84:8 | | … will be happy as he will have an easy meeting with his Lord |
| 84:9 | | Such a man will return happy to his people |
| 84:10 | | As for the one whose record… |
| 84:11 | | … will be hang behind his neck, he will be&hellip |
| 84:12 | | …. terribly sorry as he will be throne into the Hellfire |
| 84:13 | | Such a person was the most happy among his buddies (who were like him. |

| 84:16 | | I (God) swear by the impressive red color of the dusk |
| 84:17 | | I (God) swear by the night which spreads over the earth |
| 84:18 | | I (God) swear by the moon and its phases |
| 84:19 | | That man will move from stage to stage |
| 84:20 | | How come man after all this does not believe his Creator’s word |
| 84:21 | | How is it possible that man hears the word of God (as written in Qur’an) and does not prostrate out of respect |
| 84:22 | | The answer is: “These people have the audacity to knowingly reject the word of God (as penned down in Qur’an)” |
| 84:23 | | Indeed God is aware of the innermost thought of these kind of people |
| 84:24 | | O’ Mohammad, let people know that there is a terrible punishment awaiting them |
| 84:25 | | Only those who believe and adopt a “God pleasing” style of life will receive a well deserved reward |
