O humanity! Indeed, you are labouring restlessly towards your Lord, and will ˹eventually˺ meet the consequences.

As for those who are given their record in their right hand,

they will have an easy reckoning,

and will return to their people joyfully.

And as for those who are given their record ˹in their left hand˺ from behind their backs,

they will cry for ˹instant˺ destruction,

and will burn in the blazing Fire.

For they used to be prideful among their people,

thinking they would never return ˹to Allah˺.

Yes ˹they would˺! Surely their Lord has always been All-Seeing of them.

So, I do swear by the twilight!

And by the night and whatever it envelops!

And by the moon when it waxes full!

You will certainly pass from one state to another.¹
