Chapter 84, 25 verses
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ
When the sky has split [open]
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وأذنت لربها وحقت
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
Waitha alardu muddat
وإذا الأرض مدت
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And when the earth has been extended
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وأذنت لربها وحقت
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
يا أيها الإنسان إنك كادح إلى ربك كدحا فملاقيه
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
He will be judged with an easy account
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
And return to his people in happiness.
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
فسوف يدعو ثبورا
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا
He will cry out for destruction
Wayasla saAAeeran
ويصلى سعيرا
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
فلا أقسم بالشفق
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
So I swear by the twilight glow
Waallayli wama wasaqa
والليل وما وسق
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And [by] the night and what it envelops
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
والقمر إذا اتسق
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
Fama lahum la yuminoona
فما لهم لا يؤمنون
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون ۩
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ
But those who have disbelieved deny,
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
والله أعلم بما يوعون
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
