{وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ}

2. And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.

{وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ}

3. And when the earth is stretched forth,

{وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ}

6. O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, and you will meet (the results of your deeds which you did).

{فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ}

7. Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,

{فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا}

8. He surely will receive an easy reckoning,

{وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا}

9. And will return to his family in joy!

{وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ}

10. But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,

{فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا}

11. He will invoke (for his) destruction,

{وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا}

12. And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning.

{إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا}

13. Verily, he was among his people in joy!

{إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ}

14. Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)!

{بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا}

15. Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him!

{فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ}

16. So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;

{وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ}

17. And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,

{وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ}

18. And by the moon when it is at the full.

{لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ}

19. You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).

{فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ}

20. What is the matter with them, that they believe not?

{وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩}

21. And when the Qur’ân is recited to them, they fall not prostrate.

{بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ}

22. Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur’ân and Islâmic Monotheism, etc.).[1]

{وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ}

23. And Allâh knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),

{فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ}

24. So announce to them a painful torment.

{إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ}

25. Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise).
