84. Al-Inshiqaq (The Sundering): 16-19

I swear by the glow of sunset, by the night and what it covers, by the full moon, you will progress from stage to stage. (Abdul Haleem)

So I swear by the twilight glow And [by] the night and what it envelops And [by] the moon when it becomes full [That] you will surely embark upon [i.e., experience] state after state. (Saheeh International)

So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset; The Night and its Homing; And the Moon in her Fullness: Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage. (Yusuf Ali)

BUT NAY! I call to witness the sunset's [fleeting] afterglow, and the night, and what it [step by step] unfolds, and the moon, as it grows to its fullness: [even thus, O men,] are you bound to move; onward from stage to stage. (Muhammad Asad)

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. (Mustafa Khattab)

So indeed I call to witness the evening twilight, And the night and all it gathers, And the moon when at the full, That you will climb from stage to stage. (Ahmed Ali)

Oh, I call to witness the rosy afterglow of sunset. And the night and all that it enshrouds. And the moon as it steadily grows to her fullness. That you will traverse higher and higher from one plane to another. [87:13. Civilizations will keep advancing in sciences, and individuals will always have a chance to grow in goodness. Furthermore, evolution of the 'self' will carry on in the life to come] (Shabbir Ahmed)
