Chapter 84, 25 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
When the sky is rent asunder,
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
وإذا الأرض مدت
And when the earth is flattened out,
Waitha alardu muddat
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
يا أيها الإنسان إنك كادح إلى ربك كدحا فملاقيه
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
فسوف يدعو ثبورا
Soon will he cry for perdition,
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
ويصلى سعيرا
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
Wayasla saAAeeran
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
فلا أقسم بالشفق
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
والليل وما وسق
The Night and its Homing;
Waallayli wama wasaqa
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
والقمر إذا اتسق
And the Moon in her fullness:
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
فما لهم لا يؤمنون
What then 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 read to them, they fall not prostrate,
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
والله أعلم بما يوعون
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
