as they sit on ˹canopied˺ couches, looking on.
83:35
˹The believers will be asked,˺ “Have the disbelievers ˹not˺ been paid back for what they used to do?”
83:36
When the sky bursts open,
84:1
obeying its Lord as it must,
84:2
and when the earth is flattened out,
84:3
and ejects ˹all˺ its contents1 and becomes empty,
84:4
obeying its Lord as it must, ˹surely you will all be judged˺.
84:5
O humanity! Indeed, you are labouring restlessly towards your Lord, and will ˹eventually˺ meet the consequences.
84:6
As for those who are given their record in their right hand,
84:7
they will have an easy reckoning,
84:8
and will return to their people joyfully.
84:9
And as for those who are given their record ˹in their left hand˺ from behind their backs,
84:10
they will cry for ˹instant˺ destruction,
84:11
and will burn in the blazing Fire.
84:12
For they used to be prideful among their people,
84:13
thinking they would never return ˹to Allah˺.
84:14
Yes ˹they would˺! Surely their Lord has always been All-Seeing of them.
84:15
So, I do swear by the twilight!
84:16
And by the night and whatever it envelops!
84:17
And by the moon when it waxes full!
84:18
You will certainly pass from one state to another.1
84:19
So what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
84:20
and when the Quran is recited to them, they do not bow down ˹in submission˺?1
84:21
In fact, the disbelievers persist in denial.
84:22
But Allah knows best whatever they hide.
84:23
So give them good news of a painful punishment.
84:24
But those who believe and do good will have a never-ending reward.
84:25
