আল ইনশিকাক (ফেটে চুর্ণ বিচুর্ণ হওয়া)

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

1 When the heaven bursts asunder,

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

2 And obeys its Lord and it must.

3 And when the earth is stretched forth,

3 And when the earth is stretched,

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

4 And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,

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

5 And obeys its Lord and it must.

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 man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.

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

7 Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,

8 He surely will receive an easy reckoning,

8 He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,

9 And will return to his family in joy!

9 And he shall go back to his people joyful.

10 But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,

10 And as to him who is given his book behind his back,

11 He will invoke (for his) destruction,

11 He shall call for perdition,

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

12 And enter into burning fire.

13 Verily, he was among his people in joy!

13 Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.

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

14 Surely he thought that he would never return.

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

15 Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.

16 So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;

16 But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

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

17 And the night and that which it drives on,

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

18 And the moon when it grows full,

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

19 That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.

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

20 But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

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

21 And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?

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 Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.

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

23 And Allah knows best what they hide,

24 So announce to them a painful torment.

24 So announce to them a painful punishment~

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 those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
