Surah Al-Inshiqaq — The Sundering

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ ﴿١﴾

When the sky is rent asunder, 84:1

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ﴿٢﴾

And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);- 84:2

وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ ﴿٣﴾

And when the earth is flattened out, 84:3

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ ﴿٤﴾

And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty, 84:4

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ﴿٥﴾

And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality). 84:5

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًۭا فَمُلَـٰقِيهِ ﴿٦﴾

O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him. 84:6

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ ﴿٧﴾

Then he who is given his Record in his right hand, 84:7

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًۭا يَسِيرًۭا ﴿٨﴾

Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning, 84:8

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًۭا ﴿٩﴾

And he will turn to his people, rejoicing! 84:9

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ ﴿١٠﴾

But he who is given his Record behind his back,- 84:10

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًۭا ﴿١١﴾

Soon will he cry for perdition, 84:11

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ﴿١٢﴾

And he will enter a Blazing Fire. 84:12

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا ﴿١٣﴾

Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing! 84:13

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ ﴿١٤﴾

Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)! 84:14

بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًۭا ﴿١٥﴾

Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him! 84:15

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ ﴿١٦﴾

So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset; 84:16

وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ﴿١٧﴾

The Night and its Homing; 84:17

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ ﴿١٨﴾

And the Moon in her fullness: 84:18

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍۢ ﴿١٩﴾

Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage. 84:19

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٢٠﴾

What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?- 84:20

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ﴿٢١﴾

And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate, 84:21

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾

But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it). 84:22

وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾

But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts) 84:23

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ﴿٢٤﴾

So announce to them a Penalty Grievous, 84:24

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ ﴿٢٥﴾

Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail. 84:25
