84:1
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ ١

When the sky bursts open,



84:2
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ٢

obeying its Lord as it must,



84:3
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ ٣

and when the earth is flattened out,



84:4
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ ٤

and ejects ˹all˺ its contents and becomes empty,



84:5
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ٥

obeying its Lord as it must, ˹surely you will all be judged˺.



84:6
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًۭا فَمُلَـٰقِيهِ ٦

O humanity! Indeed, you are labouring restlessly towards your Lord, and will ˹eventually˺ meet the consequences.



84:7
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ ٧

As for those who are given their record in their right hand,



84:8
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًۭا يَسِيرًۭا ٨

they will have an easy reckoning,



84:9
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًۭا ٩

and will return to their people joyfully.



84:10
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ ١٠

And as for those who are given their record ˹in their left hand˺ from behind their backs,



84:11
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًۭا ١١

they will cry for ˹instant˺ destruction,



84:12
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ١٢

and will burn in the blazing Fire.



84:13
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا ١٣

For they used to be prideful among their people,



84:14
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ ١٤

thinking they would never return ˹to Allah˺.



84:15
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًۭا ١٥

Yes ˹they would˺! Surely their Lord has always been All-Seeing of them.



84:16
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ ١٦

So, I do swear by the twilight!



84:17
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ١٧

And by the night and whatever it envelops!



84:18
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ ١٨

And by the moon when it waxes full!



84:19
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍۢ ١٩

You will certainly pass from one state to another.



84:20
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٠

So what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

Approaching a prostration verse ۩.

84:21
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ٢١

and when the Quran is recited to them, they do not bow down ˹in submission˺?



84:22
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٢

In fact, the disbelievers persist in denial.



84:23
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ٢٣

But Allah knows best whatever they hide.



84:24
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٢٤

So give them good news of a painful punishment.



84:25
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ ٢٥

But those who believe and do good will have a never-ending reward.
