Chapter 84, 25 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder,
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
وإذا الأرض مدت
Waitha alardu muddat
And when the earth is stretched forth,
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
And has cast out all that was in it and became empty.
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
يا أيها الإنسان إنك كادح إلى ربك كدحا فملاقيه
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, and you will meet (the results of your deeds which you did).
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
He surely will receive an easy reckoning,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
And will return to his family in joy!
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
فسوف يدعو ثبورا
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
He will invoke (for his) destruction,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
ويصلى سعيرا
Wayasla saAAeeran
And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
Verily, he was among his people in joy!
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)!
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him!
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
فلا أقسم بالشفق
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
والليل وما وسق
Waallayli wama wasaqa
And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
والقمر إذا اتسق
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
And by the moon when it is at the full.
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
فما لهم لا يؤمنون
Fama lahum la yuminoona
What is the matter with them, that they believe not?
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون ۩
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they fall not prostrate.
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.).
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
والله أعلم بما يوعون
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
So announce to them a painful torment.
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise).
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
