بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

i

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ ١ i

When the sky is rent asunder, (1)

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ٢ i

And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);- (2)

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ ٣ i

And when the earth is flattened out, (3)

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ ٤ i

And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty, (4)

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ٥ i

And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality). (5)

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ ٦ i

O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him. (6)

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ ٧ i

Then he who is given his Record in his right hand, (7)

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا ٨ i

Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning, (8)

وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا ٩ i

And he will turn to his people, rejoicing! (9)

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ ١٠ i

But he who is given his Record behind his back,- (10)

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا ١١ i

Soon will he cry for perdition, (11)

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ١٢ i

And he will enter a Blazing Fire. (12)

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا ١٣ i

Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing! (13)

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ ١٤ i

Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)! (14)

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا ١٥ i

Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him! (15)

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ ١٦ i

So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset; (16)

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ١٧ i

The Night and its Homing; (17)

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ ١٨ i

And the Moon in her fullness: (18)

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ ١٩ i

Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage. (19)

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٠ i

What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?- (20)

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ٢١ i

And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate, (21)

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٢ i

But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it). (22)

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ٢٣ i

But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts) (23)

فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٢٤ i

So announce to them a Penalty Grievous, (24)

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ ٢٥ i

Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail. (25)
