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