Chapter 84, 25 verses
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Waitha alardu muddat
And when the earth is stretched forth,
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
And has cast out all that was in it and became empty.
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
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).
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
He surely will receive an easy reckoning,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
And will return to his family in joy!
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
He will invoke (for his) destruction,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا
Wayasla saAAeeran
And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
Verily, he was among his people in joy!
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)!
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him!
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
Waallayli wama wasaqa
And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
And by the moon when it is at the full.
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
Fama lahum la yuminoona
What 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 to them, they fall not prostrate.
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.).
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
So announce to them a painful torment.
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise).
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
