Al-Inshiqaq
The Splitting Asunder
الانشقاق
25 ayat · Meccan · Juz 30
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ
Izas samaaa'un shaqqat
When the sky has split [open]
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Wa azinat li Rabbihaa wa huqqat
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
Wa izal ardu muddat
And when the earth has been extended
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
Wa alqat maa feehaa wa takhallat
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Wa azinat li Rabbihaa wa huqqat
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
Yaaa ayyuhal insaanu innaka kaadihun ilaa Rabbika kad han famulaaqeeh
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
Fa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo biyameenih
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
Fasawfa yuhaasabu hi saabai yaseeraa
He will be judged with an easy account
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
Wa yanqalibu ilaaa ahlihee masrooraa
And return to his people in happiness.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
Wa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo waraaa'a zahrih
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا
Fasawfa yad'oo subooraa
He will cry out for destruction
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Wa yaslaa sa'eeraa
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
Innahoo kaana feee ahlihee masrooraa
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Innahoo zanna al lai yahoor
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا
Balaaa inna Rabbahoo kaana bihee baseeraa
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
Falaaa uqsimu bishshafaq
So I swear by the twilight glow
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
Wallaili wa maa wasaq
And [by] the night and what it envelops
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
Walqamari izat tasaq
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
Latarkabunna tabaqan 'an tabaq
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Famaa lahum laa yu'minoon
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
Wa izaa quri'a 'alaihimul Quraanu laa yasjudoon
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ
Balil lazeena kafaroo yukazziboon
But those who have disbelieved deny,
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
Wallaahu a'lamu bimaa yoo'oon
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Fabashshirhum bi'azaabin aleem
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
Illal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati lahum ajrun ghairu mamnoon
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
