Translation: Surah Al-Inshiqaq (The Splitting Open) سُورَة الإنشقاق
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
iIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ ١ i
When the sky has split [open] (1)
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ٢ i
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] (2)
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ ٣ i
And when the earth has been extended (3)
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ ٤ i
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it] (4)
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ٥ i
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] - (5)
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ ٦ i
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it. (6)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ ٧ i
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand, (7)
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا ٨ i
He will be judged with an easy account (8)
وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا ٩ i
And return to his people in happiness. (9)
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ ١٠ i
But as for he who is given his record behind his back, (10)
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا ١١ i
He will cry out for destruction (11)
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ١٢ i
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze. (12)
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا ١٣ i
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness; (13)
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ ١٤ i
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah]. (14)
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا ١٥ i
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing. (15)
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ ١٦ i
So I swear by the twilight glow (16)
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ١٧ i
And [by] the night and what it envelops (17)
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ ١٨ i
And [by] the moon when it becomes full (18)
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ ١٩ i
[That] you will surely experience state after state. (19)
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٠ i
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe, (20)
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ٢١ i
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]? (21)
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٢ i
But those who have disbelieved deny, (22)
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ٢٣ i
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves. (23)
فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٢٤ i
So give them tidings of a painful punishment, (24)
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ ٢٥ i
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted. (25)
