Surah 84 · 25 ayahs · Meccan Surah Al-Inshiqaq — The Splitting Open

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ

Izas samaaa'un shaqqat

When the sky is rent asunder,

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

Wa azinat li Rabbihaa wa huqqat

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

وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

Wa izal ardu muddat

And when the earth is flattened out,

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

Wa alqat maa feehaa wa takhallat

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

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

Wa azinat li Rabbihaa wa huqqat

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

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًۭا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ

Yaaa ayyuhal insaanu innaka kaadihun ilaa Rabbika kad han famulaaqeeh

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

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ

Fa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo biyameenih

Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًۭا يَسِيرًۭا

Fasawfa yuhaasabu hi saabai yaseeraa

Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًۭا

Wa yanqalibu ilaaa ahlihee masrooraa

And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ

Wa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo waraaa'a zahrih

But he who is given his Record behind his back,-

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًۭا

Fasawfa yad'oo subooraa

Soon will he cry for perdition,

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

Wa yaslaa sa'eeraa

And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا

Innahoo kaana feee ahlihee masrooraa

Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

Innahoo zanna al lai yahoor

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

بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًۭا

Balaaa inna Rabbahoo kaana bihee baseeraa

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

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ

Falaaa uqsimu bishshafaq

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

وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

Wallaili wa maa wasaq

The Night and its Homing;

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ

Walqamari izat tasaq

And the Moon in her fullness:

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍۢ

Latarkabunna tabaqan 'an tabaq

Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Famaa lahum laa yu'minoon

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

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ۩

Wa izaa quri'a 'alaihimul Quraanu laa yasjudoon

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

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ

Balil lazeena kafaroo yukazziboon

But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

Wallaahu a'lamu bimaa yoo'oon

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

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Fabashshirhum bi'azaabin aleem

So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ

Illal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati lahum ajrun ghairu mamnoon

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