Al Inshiqaq

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder

1 Itha alssamao inshaqqat

2 And attentive to her Lord in fear,

2 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

3 And when the earth is spread out

3 Waitha alardu muddat

4 And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty

4 Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

5 And attentive to her Lord in fear!

5 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

6 Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).

6 Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

7 Then whoso is given his account in his right hand

7 Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

8 He truly will receive an easy reckoning

8 Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

9 And will return unto his folk in joy.

9 Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

10 But whoso is given his account behind his back,

10 Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

11 He surely will invoke destruction

11 Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

12 And be thrown to scorching fire.

12 Wayasla saAAeeran

13 He verily lived joyous with his folk,

13 Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

14 He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).

14 Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

15 Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!

15 Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

16 Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

16 Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

17 And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,

17 Waallayli wama wasaqa

18 And by the moon when she is at the full,

18 Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

19 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.

19 Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

20 What aileth them, then, that they believe not

20 Fama lahum la yuminoona

21 And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?

21 Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

22 Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;

22 Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

23 And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.

23 WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

24 So give them tidings of a painful doom,

24 Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

25 Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.

25 Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
