Al Inshiqaq

1 Itha alssamao inshaqqat

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder,

2 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

2 And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.

3 Waitha alardu muddat

3 And when the earth is stretched forth,

4 Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

4 And has cast out all that was in it and became empty.

5 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

5 And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.

6 Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

6 O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, and you will meet (the results of your deeds which you did).

7 Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

7 Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,

8 Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

8 He surely will receive an easy reckoning,

9 Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

9 And will return to his family in joy!

10 Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

10 But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,

11 Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

11 He will invoke (for his) destruction,

12 Wayasla saAAeeran

12 And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning.

13 Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

13 Verily, he was among his people in joy!

14 Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

14 Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)!

15 Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

15 Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him!

16 Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

16 So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;

17 Waallayli wama wasaqa

17 And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,

18 Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

18 And by the moon when it is at the full.

19 Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

19 You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).

20 Fama lahum la yuminoona

20 What is the matter with them, that they believe not?

21 Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

21 And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they fall not prostrate.

22 Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

22 Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.).

23 WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

23 And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),

24 Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

24 So announce to them a painful torment.

25 Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin

25 Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise).
