| IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God. | 1 |
| When the heaven is cleft asunder, | 2 |
| And when the stars are scattered, | 3 |
| And when the seas gush together, | 4 |
| And when the tombs are turned upside down, | 5 |
| The soul shall know what it has sent on or kept back! | 6 |
| O man! what has seduced thee concerning thy generous Lord, who created thee, and fashioned thee, and gave thee symmetry, and in what form He pleased composed thee? | 7 |
| Nay, but ye call the judgment a lie! but over you are guardians set, 1—noble, writing down! they know what ye do! | 8 |
| Verily, the righteous are in pleasure, and, verily, the wicked are in hell; they shall broil therein upon the judgment day; nor shall they be absent therefrom! | 9 |
| And what shall make thee know what is the judgment day? Again, what shall make thee know what is the judgment day? a day when no soul shall control aught for another; and the bidding on that day belongs to God! | 10 |
