When the sky has split [open]

And listens and obeys its Lord, and it must do so;

When the earth will spread out

And has cast out all that was in it and became empty,

And listens and obeys its Lord, and it must do so;

O mankind! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, so you will meet (i.e. the results of your deeds which you did).

Then he who will be given his Book of deeds in his right hand,

He will be judged with an easy account

And return to his people in happiness.

But he who will be given his book of deeds from behind his back,

shall soon be calling for death,

And shall enter a blazing Fire, and made to taste its burning.
Meaning:-
Blazing: burn fiercely or brightly.

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah ].

Yet, surely his Lord was ever watching over his misdeeds.

I swear by the glow of sunset;
Meaning:-
Glow: give out steady light without flame.

And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness;

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).

What is the matter with the people that they do not believe,

And, when the Qur’an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)?

But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

and Allah knows what they are hiding in their hearts.

Therefore, announce to them a painful punishment,

except those who embrace the true faith and do good deeds; for them there will be a never ending reward.
