The Quran, translated by M. A. S. Abdel Haleem. Oxford University Press, 2005, ch. 1.

On that day you shall
be exposed, not one secret

Then as for him who is given his book in his
right hand,
he shall say, "Here, take and read my book!
Certainly
I thought that I should encounter my
reckoning." So he
shall be in a pleasing life
in a lofty Garden,
its clusters nigh to gather.
