Chapter 84, 25 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
When the sky is rent asunder,
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth is spread out
Waitha alardu muddat
And when the earth is flattened out,
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
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
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And will return unto his folk in joy.
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
He surely will invoke destruction
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
Soon will he cry for perdition,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And be thrown to scorching fire.
Wayasla saAAeeran
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
Waallayli wama wasaqa
The Night and its Homing;
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And by the moon when she is at the full,
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
And the Moon in her fullness:
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
Fama lahum la yuminoona
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
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
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
