Chapter 84, 25 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
When the sky has split [open]
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
وإذا الأرض مدت
And when the earth has been extended
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
يا أيها الإنسان إنك كادح إلى ربك كدحا فملاقيه
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
He will be judged with an easy account
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا
And return to his people in happiness.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
فسوف يدعو ثبورا
He will cry out for destruction
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا
ويصلى سعيرا
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا
فلا أقسم بالشفق
So I swear by the twilight glow
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
والليل وما وسق
And [by] the night and what it envelops
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
والقمر إذا اتسق
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
فما لهم لا يؤمنون
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون ۩
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
But those who have disbelieved deny,
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ
والله أعلم بما يوعون
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
