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