Al-Inshiqaaq

Izas samaaa'un shaqqat

When the sky has split [open]

Wa azinat li Rabbihaa wa huqqat

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

Wa izal ardu muddat

And when the earth has been extended

Wa alqat maa feehaa wa takhallat

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

Wa azinat li Rabbihaa wa huqqat

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -

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.

Fa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo biyameenih

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

Fasawfa yuhaasabu hi saabai yaseeraa

He will be judged with an easy account

Wa yanqalibu ilaaa ahlihee masrooraa

And return to his people in happiness.

Wa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo waraaa'a zahrih

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

Fasawfa yad'oo subooraa

He will cry out for destruction

Wa yaslaa sa'eeraa

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

Innahoo kaana feee ahlihee masrooraa

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

Innahoo zanna al lai yahoor

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

Balaaa inna Rabbahoo kaana bihee baseeraa

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

Falaaa uqsimu bishshafaq

So I swear by the twilight glow

Wallaili wa maa wasaq

Walqamari izat tasaq

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

Latarkabunna tabaqan 'an tabaq

[That] you will surely experience state after state.

Famaa lahum laa yu'minoon

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

Wa izaa quri'a 'alaihimul Quraanu laa yasjudoon

And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?

Balil lazeena kafaroo yukazziboon

But those who have disbelieved deny,

Wallaahu a'lamu bimaa yoo'oon

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

Fabashshirhum bi'azaabin aleem

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
