In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When Earth is shaken with her (final) earthquake * 1
And Earth yieldeth up her burdens * 2
And man saith: What aileth her * 3
That day she will relate her chronicles * 4
Because thy Lord inspireth her * 5
That day mankind will issue forth in scattered groups to be shown their deeds * 6
And whoso doeth good an atom's weight will see it then * 7
And whoso doeth ill an atom's weight will see it then * 8
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the snorting coursers * 1
Striking sparks of fire * 2
And scouring to the raid at dawn * 3
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust * 4
Cleaving, as one, the center of the foe * 5
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord * 6
And lo! he is a witness unto that * 7
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent * 8
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth * 9
And the secrets of the breasts are made known * 10
On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them * 11
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The Calamity * 1
What is the Calamity * 2
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the calamity is * 3
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly scattered moths * 4
And the mountains will become as carded wool * 5
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy with good works * 6
He will live a pleasant life * 7
But as for him whose scales are light * 8
The Bereft and Hungry One will be his mother * 9
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is * 10
Raging fire * 11
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you * 1
Until ye come to the graves * 2
Nay, but ye will come to know * 3
Nay, but ye will come to know * 4
Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge * 5
For ye will behold hell fire * 6
Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision * 7
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure * 8
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the declining day * 1
Lo! man is in a state of loss * 2
Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance * 3
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Woe unto every slandering traducer * 1
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it * 2
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal * 3
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One * 4
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is * 5
It is the fire of Allah, kindled * 6
Which leapeth up over the hearts of men * 7
Lo! it is closed in on them * 8
In outstretched columns * 9
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant ? * 1
Did He not bring their stratagem to naught * 2
And send against them swarms of flying creatures * 3
Which pelted them with stones of baked clay * 4
And made them like green crops devoured by cattle ? * 5
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
For the taming of Qureysh * 1
For their taming (We cause) the caravans to set forth in winter and summer * 2
So let them worship the Lord of this House * 3
Who hath fed them against hunger and hath made them safe from fear * 4
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou observed him who belieth religion ? * 1
That is he who repelleth the orphan * 2
And urgeth not the feeding of the needy * 3
Ah, woe unto worshippers * 4
Who are heedless of their prayer * 5
Who would be seen at worship * 6
Yet refuse small kindnesses * 7
