Chapter 84, 25 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
When the sky is rent asunder,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
وأذنت لربها وحقت
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth is spread out
And when the earth is flattened out,
وإذا الأرض مدت
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
وأذنت لربها وحقت
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
يا أيها الإنسان إنك كادح إلى ربك كدحا فملاقيه
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And will return unto his folk in joy.
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
He surely will invoke destruction
Soon will he cry for perdition,
فسوف يدعو ثبورا
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And be thrown to scorching fire.
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
ويصلى سعيرا
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
فلا أقسم بالشفق
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
The Night and its Homing;
والليل وما وسق
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And by the moon when she is at the full,
And the Moon in her fullness:
والقمر إذا اتسق
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
فما لهم لا يؤمنون
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون ۩
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
والله أعلم بما يوعون
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
