Al-Inshiqaq 84:1
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتۡ
When the heaven is split asunder
Al-Inshiqaq 84:2
وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
Al-Inshiqaq 84:3
وَإِذَا ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡ
And when the earth is spread out
Al-Inshiqaq 84:4
وَأَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡ
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
Al-Inshiqaq 84:5
وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
Al-Inshiqaq 84:6
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدۡحٗا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
Al-Inshiqaq 84:7
فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
Al-Inshiqaq 84:8
فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابٗا يَسِيرٗا
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
Al-Inshiqaq 84:9
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورٗا
And will return unto his folk in joy.
Al-Inshiqaq 84:10
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهِۦ
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
Al-Inshiqaq 84:11
فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُواْ ثُبُورٗا
He surely will invoke destruction
Al-Inshiqaq 84:12
وَيَصۡلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
And be thrown to scorching fire.
Al-Inshiqaq 84:13
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورًا
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Al-Inshiqaq 84:14
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Al-Inshiqaq 84:15
بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرٗا
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
Al-Inshiqaq 84:16
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
Al-Inshiqaq 84:17
وَٱلَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
Al-Inshiqaq 84:18
وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
And by the moon when she is at the full,
Al-Inshiqaq 84:19
لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٖ
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
Al-Inshiqaq 84:20
فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
Al-Inshiqaq 84:21
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ لَا يَسۡجُدُونَۤ۩
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)?
Al-Inshiqaq 84:22
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
Al-Inshiqaq 84:23
وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
Al-Inshiqaq 84:24
فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
Al-Inshiqaq 84:25
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونِۭ
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
