The Rending -Al-'Inshiqaq |
|
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful |
|
1 |
|
[ 84. 1 ] When the sky is torn apart, |
|
2 |
|
[ 84. 2 ] hearing and obeying its Lord, as it must do; |
|
3 |
|
[ 84. 3 ] when the earth is stretched out |
|
4 |
|
[ 84. 4 ] and casts out all that is within and voids itself, |
|
5 |
|
[ 84. 5 ] obeying its Lord, as it must do! |
|
6 |
|
[ 84. 6 ] O human, you are working hard towards your Lord and you will meet Him. |
|
7 |
|
[ 84. 7 ] Then, he who is given his Book in his right hand |
|
8 |
|
[ 84. 8 ] shall have an easy reckoning |
|
9 |
|
[ 84. 9 ] and will return rejoicing to his family. |
|
10 |
|
[ 84. 10 ] But he who is given his Book from behind his back |
|
11 |
|
[ 84. 11 ] shall call for destruction |
|
12 |
|
[ 84. 12 ] and roast at the Blaze. |
|
13 |
|
[ 84. 13 ] Once, he lived joyfully among his family |
|
14 |
|
[ 84. 14 ] and surely thought he would never return ( to his Lord ). |
|
15 |
|
[ 84. 15 ] Yes indeed, his Lord was ever watching him. |
|
16 |
|
[ 84. 16 ] I swear by the twilight; |
|
17 |
|
[ 84. 17 ] by the night and all that it envelops; |
|
18 |
|
[ 84. 18 ] by the moon, in its fullness |
|
19 |
|
[ 84. 19 ] that you shall surely ride from stage to stage. |
|
20 |
|
[ 84. 20 ] What is the matter with them, that they do not believe |
|
21 |
|
[ 84. 21 ] and when the Koran is recited to them that they do not prostrate! |
|
22 |
|
[ 84. 22 ] No, the unbelievers only belie, |
|
23 |
|
[ 84. 23 ] and Allah knows very well what they gather. |
|
24 |
|
[ 84. 24 ] Therefore give to them glad tidings of a painful punishment, |
|
25 |
|
[ 84. 25 ] except to those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for theirs is an unfailing recompense. |
