Al-Inshiqaq
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the heaven is split asunder
(1)
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
(2)
And when the earth is spread out
(3)
And hath cast out all that was in
her, and is empty (4)
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
(5)
Thou, verily, O man, art working
toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His
presence). (6)
Then whoso is given his account in
his right hand (7)
He truly will receive an easy
reckoning (8)
And will return unto his folk in
joy. (9)
But whoso is given his account
behind his back, (10)
He surely will invoke destruction
(11)
And be thrown to scorching fire.
(12)
He verily lived joyous with his
folk, (13)
He verily deemed that he would
never return (unto Allah). (14)
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever
looking on him! (15)
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of
sunset, (16)
And by the night and all that it
enshroudeth, (17)
And by the moon when she is at
the full, (18)
That ye shall journey on from
plane to plane. (19)
What aileth them, then, that they
believe not (20)
And, when the Qur'an is recited
unto them, worship not (Allah)? (21)
Nay, but those who disbelieve
will deny; (22)
And Allah knoweth best what they
are hiding. (23)
So give them tidings of a painful
doom, (24)
Save those who believe and do
good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing. (25)
