আল ইনশিকাক (ফেটে চুর্ণ বিচুর্ণ হওয়া)

1 When the sky has split [open]

1 When the sky is rent asunder,

2 And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

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

3 And when the earth has been extended

3 And when the earth is flattened out,

4 And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

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

5 And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to 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 mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.

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

7 Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

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

8 He will be judged with an easy account

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

9 And return to his people in happiness.

9 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

10 But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

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

11 He will cry out for destruction

11 Soon will he cry for perdition,

12 And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

12 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

13 Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

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

14 Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].

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

15 But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.

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

16 So I swear by the twilight glow

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

17 And [by] the night and what it envelops

17 The Night and its Homing;

18 And [by] the moon when it becomes full

18 And the Moon in her fullness:

19 [That] you will surely experience state after state.

19 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

20 So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

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

21 And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?

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

22 But those who have disbelieved deny,

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

23 And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

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

24 So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

24 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

25 Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.

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