Al-Inshiqaq

When the sky has split [open]

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتۡ

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ

And when the earth has been extended

وَإِذَا ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡ

And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

وَأَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡ

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدۡحٗا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ

He will be judged with an easy account

فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابٗا يَسِيرٗا

And return to his people in happiness

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورٗا

But as for he who is given his record behind his back

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهِۦ

He will cry out for destruction

فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُواْ ثُبُورٗا

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze

وَيَصۡلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورًا

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah]

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing

بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرٗا

So I swear by the twilight glow

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ

And [by] the night and what it envelops

وَٱلَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ

[That] you will surely experience state after state

لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٖ

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe

فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ لَا يَسۡجُدُونَۤ۩

But those who have disbelieved deny

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ

And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves

وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

So give them tidings of a painful punishment

فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونِۭ
