الانشقاق

The Splitting Open25 ayahsMeccan

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتۡ﴿١

1When the sky has split [open]

وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ﴿٢

2And has listened [i.e., responded][1888] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

وَإِذَا ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡ﴿٣

3And when the earth has been extended[1889]

وَأَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡ﴿٤

4And has cast out that within it[1890] and relinquished [it]

وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ﴿٥

5And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] –

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدۡحٗا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ﴿٦

6O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion[1891] and will meet it.[1892]

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ﴿٧

7Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابٗا يَسِيرٗا﴿٨

8He will be judged with an easy account

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورٗا﴿٩

9And return to his people in happiness.

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهِۦ﴿١٠

10But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُواْ ثُبُورٗا﴿١١

11He will cry out for destruction

وَيَصۡلَىٰ سَعِيرًا﴿١٢

12And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورًا﴿١٣

13Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ﴿١٤

14Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allāh].

بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرٗا﴿١٥

15But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever, of him, Seeing.

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ﴿١٦

16So I swear by the twilight glow

وَٱلَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ﴿١٧

17And [by] the night and what it envelops

وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ﴿١٨

18And [by] the moon when it becomes full

لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٖ﴿١٩

19[That] you will surely embark upon [i.e., experience] state after state.[1893]

فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ﴿٢٠

20So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ لَا يَسۡجُدُونَۤ۩﴿٢١

21And when the Qur’ān is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allāh]?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ﴿٢٢

22But those who have disbelieved deny,

وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ﴿٢٣

23And Allāh is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ﴿٢٤

24So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونِۭ﴿٢٥

25Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
