84.1 . When the heaven is split asunder

84.2 . And attentive to her Lord in fear ,

84.3 . And when the earth is spread out

84.4 . And hath cast out all that was in her , and is empty

84.5 . And attentive to her Lord in fear!

84.7 . Then whoso is given his account in his right hand

84.8 . He truly will receive an easy reckoning

84.9 . And will return unto his folk in joy .

84.10 . But whoso is given his account behind his back ,

84.11 . He surely will invoke destruction

84.12 . And be thrown to scorching fire .

84.13 . He verily lived joyous with his folk ,

84.14 . He verily deemed that he would never return ( unto Allah ) .

84.15 . Nay , but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!

84.16 . Oh , I swear by the afterglow of sunset ,

84.17 . And by the night and all that it enshroudeth ,

84.18 . And by the moon when she is at the full ,

84.19 . That ye shall journey on from plane to plane .

84.20 . What aileth them , then , that they believe not
