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 sky is rent asunder,

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 stretched forth,

3 And when the earth is flattened out,

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 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 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 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 surely will receive an easy reckoning,

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

9 And will return to his family in joy!

9 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

10 But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,

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

11 He will invoke (for his) destruction,

11 Soon will he cry for perdition,

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

12 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

13 Verily, he was among his people in joy!

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

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

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

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 whatever it gathers in its darkness,

17 The Night and its Homing;

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

18 And the Moon in her fullness:

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 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 to them, they fall not prostrate.

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

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 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 announce to them a painful torment.

24 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

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.
