Chapter 84, 25 verses
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
When the sky is rent asunder,
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
Waitha alardu muddat
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
وإذا الأرض مدت
And when the earth is flattened out,
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
يا أيها الإنسان إنك كادح إلى ربك كدحا فملاقيه
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا
فسوف يدعو ثبورا
Soon will he cry for perdition,
Wayasla saAAeeran
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
ويصلى سعيرا
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
فلا أقسم بالشفق
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Waallayli wama wasaqa
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
والليل وما وسق
The Night and its Homing;
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
والقمر إذا اتسق
And the Moon in her fullness:
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
Fama lahum la yuminoona
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
فما لهم لا يؤمنون
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون ۩
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
والله أعلم بما يوعون
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
