الانشقاق

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder

1 When the heaven bursts asunder,

1 Itha alssamao inshaqqat

2 And attentive to her Lord in fear,

2 And obeys its Lord and it must.

2 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

3 And when the earth is spread out

3 And when the earth is stretched,

3 Waitha alardu muddat

4 And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty

4 And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,

4 Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

5 And attentive to her Lord in fear!

5 And obeys its Lord and it must.

5 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

6 Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).

6 O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.

6 Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

7 Then whoso is given his account in his right hand

7 Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,

7 Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

8 He truly will receive an easy reckoning

8 He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,

8 Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

9 And will return unto his folk in joy.

9 And he shall go back to his people joyful.

9 Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

10 But whoso is given his account behind his back,

10 And as to him who is given his book behind his back,

10 Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

11 He surely will invoke destruction

11 He shall call for perdition,

11 Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

12 And be thrown to scorching fire.

12 And enter into burning fire.

12 Wayasla saAAeeran

13 He verily lived joyous with his folk,

13 Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.

13 Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

14 He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).

14 Surely he thought that he would never return.

14 Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

15 Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!

15 Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.

15 Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

16 Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

16 But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

16 Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

17 And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,

17 And the night and that which it drives on,

17 Waallayli wama wasaqa

18 And by the moon when she is at the full,

18 And the moon when it grows full,

18 Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

19 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.

19 That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.

19 Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

20 What aileth them, then, that they believe not

20 But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

20 Fama lahum la yuminoona

21 And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?

21 And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?

21 Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

22 Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;

22 Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.

22 Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

23 And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.

23 And Allah knows best what they hide,

23 WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

24 So give them tidings of a painful doom,

24 So announce to them a painful punishment~

24 Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

25 Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.

25 Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.

25 Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
