Sorah Al-Inshiqaq (The Splitting Asunder) - Verses Number 25
إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ ( 1 ) 
When the sky is rent asunder,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ( 2 )
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);-
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ ( 3 )
And when the earth is flattened out,
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ ( 4 )
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ( 5 )
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality).
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ ( 6 )
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ ( 7 )
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا ( 8 )
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا ( 9 )
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ ( 10 )
But he who is given his Record behind his back,-
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا ( 11 )
Soon will he cry for perdition,
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ( 12 )
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا ( 13 )
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ ( 14 )
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا ( 15 )
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ ( 16 )
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ( 17 )
The Night and its Homing;
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ ( 18 )
And the Moon in her fullness:
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ ( 19 )
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ( 20 )
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ( 21 )
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ ( 22 )
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ( 23 )
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ( 24 )
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ ( 25 )
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.

- Worldly Difficulties - Reality, Causes and BenefitsThis booklet reminds the reader that worldly difficulties are a trial for the believers, while not disregarding the fact that more often afflictions result from one’s sins and disobedience to Allah.

- Concept of God in IslamIts author said in the introduction, "It is a known fact that every language has one or more terms that are used in reference to God and sometimes to lesser deities. This is not the case with Allah. Allah is the personal name of the One true God. Nothing else can be called Allah. The term has no plural or gender. This shows its uniqueness when compared with the word "god," which can be made plural, as in "gods," or made feminine, as in "goddess." It is interesting to notice that Allah is the personal name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus and a sister language of Arabic."
