Chapter 84, 25 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
When the sky has split [open]
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
وإذا الأرض مدت
And when the earth has been extended
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
يا أيها الإنسان إنك كادح إلى ربك كدحا فملاقيه
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
He will be judged with an easy account
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا
And return to his people in happiness.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا
فسوف يدعو ثبورا
He will cry out for destruction
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
ويصلى سعيرا
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
فلا أقسم بالشفق
So I swear by the twilight glow
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
والليل وما وسق
And [by] the night and what it envelops
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
والقمر إذا اتسق
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
فما لهم لا يؤمنون
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون ۩
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
But those who have disbelieved deny,
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
والله أعلم بما يوعون
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
