Chapter 84, 25 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
When the sky has split [open]
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
Waitha alardu muddat
And when the earth has been extended
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
He will be judged with an easy account
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
And return to his people in happiness.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
He will cry out for destruction
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Wayasla saAAeeran
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
So I swear by the twilight glow
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
Waallayli wama wasaqa
And [by] the night and what it envelops
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Fama lahum la yuminoona
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
But those who have disbelieved deny,
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
