عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ٣٥
as they sit on ˹canopied˺ couches, looking on.
83:35
هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ ٣٦
˹The believers will be asked,˺ “Have the disbelievers ˹not˺ been paid back for what they used to do?”
83:36
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتۡ ١
When the sky bursts open,
84:1
وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ ٢
obeying its Lord as it must,
84:2
وَإِذَا ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡ ٣
and when the earth is flattened out,
84:3
وَأَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡ ٤
and ejects ˹all˺ its contents1 and becomes empty,
84:4
وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ ٥
obeying its Lord as it must, ˹surely you will all be judged˺.
84:5
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدۡحٗا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ ٦
O humanity! Indeed, you are labouring restlessly towards your Lord, and will ˹eventually˺ meet the consequences.
84:6
فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ ٧
As for those who are given their record in their right hand,
84:7
فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابٗا يَسِيرٗا ٨
they will have an easy reckoning,
84:8
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورٗا ٩
and will return to their people joyfully.
84:9
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهِۦ ١٠
And as for those who are given their record ˹in their left hand˺ from behind their backs,
84:10
فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُواْ ثُبُورٗا ١١
they will cry for ˹instant˺ destruction,
84:11
وَيَصۡلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ١٢
and will burn in the blazing Fire.
84:12
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورًا ١٣
For they used to be prideful among their people,
84:13
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ ١٤
thinking they would never return ˹to Allah˺.
84:14
بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرٗا ١٥
Yes ˹they would˺! Surely their Lord has always been All-Seeing of them.
84:15
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ ١٦
So, I do swear by the twilight!
84:16
وَٱلَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ١٧
And by the night and whatever it envelops!
84:17
وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ ١٨
And by the moon when it waxes full!
84:18
لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٖ ١٩
You will certainly pass from one state to another.1
84:19
فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٢٠
So what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
84:20
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ لَا يَسۡجُدُونَۤ۩ ٢١
and when the Quran is recited to them, they do not bow down ˹in submission˺?1
84:21
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٢
In fact, the disbelievers persist in denial.
84:22
وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ٢٣
But Allah knows best whatever they hide.
84:23
فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٢٤
So give them good news of a painful punishment.
84:24
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونِۭ ٢٥
But those who believe and do good will have a never-ending reward.
84:25
