Surah 84: Al-Inshiqaaq سُورَةُ الانشِقَاقِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ 1

¹When the heaven is split asunder

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ 2

²And attentive to her Lord in fear,

وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ 3

³And when the earth is spread out

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ 4

⁴And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ 5

⁵And attentive to her Lord in fear!

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ 6

⁶Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ 7

⁷Then whoso is given his account in his right hand

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا 8

⁸He truly will receive an easy reckoning

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا 9

⁹And will return unto his folk in joy.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ 10

¹⁰But whoso is given his account behind his back,

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا 11

¹¹He surely will invoke destruction

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا 12

¹²And be thrown to scorching fire.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا 13

¹³He verily lived joyous with his folk,

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ 14

¹⁴He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).

بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا 15

¹⁵Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ 16

¹⁶Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ 17

¹⁷And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ 18

¹⁸And by the moon when she is at the full,

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ 19

¹⁹That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ 20

²⁰What aileth them, then, that they believe not

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ 21

²¹And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ 22

²²Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;

وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ 23

²³And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ 24

²⁴So give them tidings of a painful doom,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ 25

²⁵Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
