In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
Chapter 84, 25 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth is spread out
Waitha alardu muddat
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And will return unto his folk in joy.
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
He surely will invoke destruction
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And be thrown to scorching fire.
Wayasla saAAeeran
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
Waallayli wama wasaqa
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And by the moon when she is at the full,
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
Fama lahum la yuminoona
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
