| Surah Al-Inshiqaq | |||
| In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |||
| 1 | When the heaven is split asunder, | ||
| 2 | And listens and obeys its Lord, and it must do so; | ||
| 3 | And when the earth is stretched forth, | ||
| 4 | And has cast out all that was in it and became empty, | ||
| 5 | And listens and obeys its Lord, and it must do so; | ||
| 6 | O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions ( good or bad ), a sure returning, so you will meet ( i. e. the results of your deeds which you did ). | ||
| 7 | Then, as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand, | ||
| 8 | He surely will receive an easy reckoning, | ||
| 9 | And will return to his family in joy! | ||
| 10 | But whosoever is given his Record behind his back, | ||
| 11 | He will invoke ( his ) destruction, | ||
| 12 | And shall enter a blazing Fire, and made to taste its burning. | ||
| 13 | Verily, he was among his people in joy! | ||
| 14 | Verily, he thought that he would never come back ( to Us )! | ||
| 15 | Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him! | ||
| 16 | So I swear by the afterglow of sunset; | ||
| 17 | And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness; | ||
| 18 | And by the moon when it is at the full, | ||
| 19 | You shall certainly travel from stage to stage ( in this life and in the Hereafter ). | ||
| 20 | What is the matter with them, that they believe not? | ||
| 21 | And when the Qur'ān is recited to them, they fall not prostrate, | ||
| 22 | Nay, ( on the contrary ), those who disbelieve, belie ( Prophet Muhammad and whatever he brought, i. e. this Qur'ān and Islāmic Monotheism, etc. ). | ||
| 23 | And Allāh knows best what they gather ( of good and bad deeds ), | ||
| 24 | So announce to them a painful torment. | ||
| 25 | Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end ( i. e. Paradise ). | ||
