Surah Al-Inshiqaq

اِذَا السَّمَآءُ انْشَقَّتْ 1

When the sky has split [open]

وَاَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ 2

And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

وَاِذَا الْاَرْضُ مُدَّتْ ۟ؕ 3

And when the earth has been extended

وَاَلْقَتْ مَا فِیْهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ 4

And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

وَاَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ۟ؕ 5

And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] –

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْاِنْسَانُ اِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ اِلٰی رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلٰقِیْهِ 6

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.

فَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِیَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِیَمِیْنِهٖ 7

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

فَسَوْفَ یُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا یَّسِیْرًا 8

He will be judged with an easy account

وَّیَنْقَلِبُ اِلٰۤی اَهْلِهٖ مَسْرُوْرًا ۟ؕ 9

And return to his people in happiness.

وَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِیَ كِتٰبَهٗ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهٖ 10

But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

فَسَوْفَ یَدْعُوْا ثُبُوْرًا 11

He will cry out for destruction

وَّیَصْلٰی سَعِیْرًا ۟ؕ 12

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فِیْۤ اَهْلِهٖ مَسْرُوْرًا ۟ؕ 13

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

اِنَّهٗ ظَنَّ اَنْ لَّنْ یَّحُوْرَ 14

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allāh].

بَلٰۤی ۛۚ اِنَّ رَبَّهٗ كَانَ بِهٖ بَصِیْرًا ۟ؕ 15

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever, of him, Seeing.

فَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ 16

So I swear by the twilight glow

وَالَّیْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ 17

And [by] the night and what it envelops

وَالْقَمَرِ اِذَا اتَّسَقَ 18

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ ۟ؕ 19

[That] you will surely embark upon [i.e., experience] state after state.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ 20

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

وَاِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَیْهِمُ الْقُرْاٰنُ لَا یَسْجُدُوْنَ 21

And when the Qur’ān is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allāh]?

بَلِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یُكَذِّبُوْنَ ۟ؗۖ 22

But those who have disbelieved deny,

وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا یُوْعُوْنَ ۟ؗۖ 23

And Allāh is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ 24

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ غَیْرُ مَمْنُوْنٍ 25

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
