84: The Sundering

84:1 When the heaven is split asunder
84:2 And attentive to her Lord in fear,
84:3 And when the earth is spread out
84:4 And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
84:5 And attentive to her Lord in fear!
84:6 Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
84:7 Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
84:8 He truly will receive an easy reckoning
84:9 And will return unto his folk in joy.
84:10 But whoso is given his account behind his back,
84:11 He surely will invoke destruction
Some folks will be thrown into a scorching fire.
The Fire
84:12 And be thrown to scorching fire.
84:13 He verily lived joyous with his folk,
84:14 He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
84:15 Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
84:16 Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset, The words, "I swear by the afterglow of sunset ..." are clearly spoken by Muhammad. So how is Allah the author of the Quran?
84:17 And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
84:18 And by the moon when she is at the full,
84:19 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
84:20 What aileth them, then, that they believe not
84:21 And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)?
84:22 Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny; (22-24)
Disbelievers will be given a painful doom.
Doom in the Quran
For disbelievers a painful doom
84:23 And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
84:24 So give them tidings of a painful doom,
84:25 Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
