| 84:1 | | When the heaven shall be rent in sunder |
| 84:2 | | and shall obey its Lord, and shall be capable thereof |
| 84:3 | | and when the earth shall be stretched out |
| 84:4 | | and shall cast forth that which is therein, and shall remain empty |
| 84:5 | | and shall obey its Lord, and shall be capable thereof |
| 84:6 | | O man, verily labouring thou labourest to meet thy Lord, and thou shalt meet Him |
| 84:7 | | And he who shall have his book given into his right hand |
| 84:8 | | shall be called to an easy account |
| 84:9 | | and shall turn unto his family with joy |
| 84:10 | | But he who shall have his book given him behind his back |
| 84:11 | | shall invoke destruction to fall upon him |
| 84:12 | | and he shall be sent into hell to be burned |
| 84:13 | | because he rejoiced insolently amidst his family on earth |
| 84:14 | | Verily he thought that he should never return unto God |
| 84:15 | | Yea verily; but his Lord beheld him |
| 84:16 | | Wherefore I swear by the redness of the sky after sun-set |
| 84:17 | | and by the night, and the animals which it driveth together |
| 84:18 | | and by the moon when she is at the full |
| 84:19 | | ye shall surely be transferred successively from state to state |
| 84:20 | | What aileth them, therefore, that they believe not the resurrection |
| 84:21 | | and that, when the Koran is read unto them, they worship not |
| 84:22 | | Yea: The unbelievers accuse the same of imposture |
| 84:23 | | But God well knoweth the malice which they keep hidden in their breasts |
| 84:24 | | Wherefore denounce unto them a grievous punishment |
| 84:25 | | except those who believe and do good works: For them is prepared a never failing reward |
