083.032 And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"
083.033 But they had not been sent as keepers over them!
083.034 But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:
083.035 On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).
083.036 Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?
THE SUNDERING, SPLITTING OPEN, CHAPTER NO. 084
084.001 When the sky is rent asunder,
084.002 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);-
084.003 And when the earth is flattened out,
084.004 And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
084.005 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full
reality).
084.006 O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.
084.007 Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
084.008 Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
084.009 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
084.010 But he who is given his Record behind his back,-
084.011 Soon will he cry for perdition,
084.012 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
084.013 Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
084.014 Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
084.015 Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
084.016 So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
084.017 The Night and its Homing;
084.018 And the Moon in her fullness:
084.019 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
084.020 What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-
084.021 And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
084.022 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
084.023 But God has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
084.024 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
084.025 Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
THE MANSIONS OF THE STARS, CONSTELLATIONS, CHAPTER NO. 085
085.001 By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;
085.002 By the promised Day (of Judgment);
085.003 By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;-
085.004 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),
085.005 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:
085.006 Behold! they sat over against the (fire),
085.007 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.
085.008 And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in God, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all
Praise!-
085.009 Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And God is Witness to all things.
085.010 Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance,
will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire.
085.011 For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great
Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires),
