Translation of the Holy Koran by Shakir
 
Sura 84 Aya 1 to 25
 
  1   [ 84: 1 ] When the heaven bursts asunder,
  2   [ 84: 2 ] And obeys its Lord and it must.
  3   [ 84: 3 ] And when the earth is stretched,
  4   [ 84: 4 ] And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
  5   [ 84: 5 ] And obeys its Lord and it must.
  6   [ 84: 6 ] O man! surely you must strive ( to attain ) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
  7   [ 84: 7 ] Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
  8   [ 84: 8 ] He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
  9   [ 84: 9 ] And he shall go back to his people joyful.
  10   [ 84: 10 ] And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
  11   [ 84: 11 ] He shall call for perdition,
  12   [ 84: 12 ] And enter into burning fire.
  13   [ 84: 13 ] Surely he was ( erstwhile ) joyful among his followers.
  14   [ 84: 14 ] Surely he thought that he would never return.
  15   [ 84: 15 ] Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
  16   [ 84: 16 ] But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
  17   [ 84: 17 ] And the night and that which it drives on,
  18   [ 84: 18 ] And the moon when it grows full,
  19   [ 84: 19 ] That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
  20   [ 84: 20 ] But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
  21   [ 84: 21 ] And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
  22   [ 84: 22 ] Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
  23   [ 84: 23 ] And Allah knows best what they hide,
  24   [ 84: 24 ] So announce to them a painful punishment ~
  25   [ 84: 25 ] Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
