আল ইনশিকাক (ফেটে চুর্ণ বিচুর্ণ হওয়া)

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder,

1 When the sky is rent asunder,

2 And attentive to her Lord in fear,

2 And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.

2 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -

3 And when the earth is spread out

3 And when the earth is stretched forth,

3 And when the earth is flattened out,

4 And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty

4 And has cast out all that was in it and became empty.

4 And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,

5 And attentive to her Lord in fear!

5 And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.

5 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).

6 Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).

6 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).

6 O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.

7 Then whoso is given his account in his right hand

7 Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,

7 Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

8 He truly will receive an easy reckoning

8 He surely will receive an easy reckoning,

8 Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

9 And will return unto his folk in joy.

9 And will return to his family in joy!

9 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

10 But whoso is given his account behind his back,

10 But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,

10 But he who is given his Record behind his back, -

11 He surely will invoke destruction

11 He will invoke (for his) destruction,

11 Soon will he cry for perdition,

12 And be thrown to scorching fire.

12 And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning.

12 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

13 He verily lived joyous with his folk,

13 Verily, he was among his people in joy!

13 Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!

14 He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).

14 Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)!

14 Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!

15 Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!

15 Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him!

15 Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!

16 Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

16 So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;

16 So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

17 And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,

17 And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,

17 The Night and its Homing;

18 And by the moon when she is at the full,

18 And by the moon when it is at the full.

18 And the Moon in her fullness:

19 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.

19 You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).

19 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

20 What aileth them, then, that they believe not

20 What is the matter with them, that they believe not?

20 What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -

21 And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?

21 And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they fall not prostrate.

21 And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

22 Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;

22 Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.).

22 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

23 And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.

23 And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),

23 But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)

24 So give them tidings of a painful doom,

24 So announce to them a painful torment.

24 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

25 Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.

25 Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise).

25 Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
