Al Inshiqaq

1 Itha alssamao inshaqqat

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

2 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

2 And attentive to her Lord in fear,

3 Waitha alardu muddat

3 And when the earth is spread out

4 Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

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

5 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

5 And attentive to her Lord in fear!

6 Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

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

7 Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

7 Then whoso is given his account in his right hand

8 Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

8 He truly will receive an easy reckoning

9 Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

9 And will return unto his folk in joy.

10 Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

10 But whoso is given his account behind his back,

11 Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

11 He surely will invoke destruction

12 Wayasla saAAeeran

12 And be thrown to scorching fire.

13 Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

13 He verily lived joyous with his folk,

14 Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

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

15 Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

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

16 Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

16 Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

17 Waallayli wama wasaqa

17 And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,

18 Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

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

19 Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

19 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.

20 Fama lahum la yuminoona

20 What aileth them, then, that they believe not

21 Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

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

22 Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

22 Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;

23 WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

23 And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.

24 Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

24 So give them tidings of a painful doom,

25 Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin

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