الانشقاق

1 When the sky has split [open]

1 When the sky is rent asunder,

1 Itha alssamao inshaqqat

2 And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

2 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -

2 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

3 And when the earth has been extended

3 And when the earth is flattened out,

3 Waitha alardu muddat

4 And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

4 And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,

4 Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

5 And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -

5 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).

5 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

6 O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.

6 O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.

6 Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

7 Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

7 Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

7 Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

8 He will be judged with an easy account

8 Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

8 Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

9 And return to his people in happiness.

9 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

9 Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

10 But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

10 But he who is given his Record behind his back, -

10 Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

11 He will cry out for destruction

11 Soon will he cry for perdition,

11 Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

12 And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

12 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

12 Wayasla saAAeeran

13 Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

13 Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!

13 Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

14 Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].

14 Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!

14 Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

15 But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.

15 Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!

15 Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

16 So I swear by the twilight glow

16 So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

16 Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

17 And [by] the night and what it envelops

17 The Night and its Homing;

17 Waallayli wama wasaqa

18 And [by] the moon when it becomes full

18 And the Moon in her fullness:

18 Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

19 [That] you will surely experience state after state.

19 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

19 Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

20 So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

20 What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -

20 Fama lahum la yuminoona

21 And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?

21 And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

21 Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

22 But those who have disbelieved deny,

22 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

22 Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

23 And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

23 But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)

23 WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

24 So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

24 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

24 Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

25 Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.

25 Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.

25 Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
