Source (Arabic)

الأشرار بكتاب الفجّار كذلك يعملون قل طويت السّماء والأرض في قبضته والمجرمون أُخذوا بناصيتهم ولا يفقهون يشربون الصَّدِيْد ولا يعرفون قل قد أتت الصَّيْحَة وخرج النّاس من الأجداث وهم قيام ينظرون ومنهم مسرع إلى شطر الرّحمن ومنهم مكبّ على وجهه في النّار ومنهم متحيّرون قد نزّلت الآيات وهم عنها معرضون وأتى البرهان وهم عنه غافلون إذا رأَوا وجه الرّحمن سيئَتْ وجوههم وهم يلعبون يهطعون إلى النّار ويحسبون أنّها نور فتعالى اللّه عمّا يظنّون قل لو تفرحون أو تتميّزون من الغيظ قد شقّت السّماء وأتى اللّه بسلطان مبين تنطق الأشيآء

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Say: The heavens have been folded together, and the earth is held within His grasp, and the corrupt doers have been held by their forelock, and still they understand not. They drink of the tainted water, and know it not. Say: The shout hath been raised, and the people have come forth from their graves, and arising, are gazing around them. Some have made haste to attain the court of the God of Mercy, others have fallen down on their faces in the fire of Hell, while still others are lost in bewilderment. The verses of God have been revealed, and yet they have turned away from them. His proof hath been manifested, and yet they are unaware of it. And when they behold the face of the All-Merciful, their own faces are saddened, while they are disporting themselves. They hasten forward to Hell Fire, and mistake it for light. Far from God be what they fondly imagine! Say: Whether ye rejoice or whether ye burst for fury, the heavens are cleft asunder, and God hath come down, invested with radiant sovereignty. All created things are heard exclaiming: “The Kingdom is God’s, the Almighty, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.”
