আল ইনশিকাক (ফেটে চুর্ণ বিচুর্ণ হওয়া)

1 When the sky is rent asunder,

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,

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

2 And attentive to her Lord in fear,

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

3 And when the earth is flattened out,

3 And when the earth is spread out

3 And when the earth is stretched forth,

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

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.

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

5 And attentive to her Lord in fear!

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

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

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).

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

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,

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

8 He truly will receive an easy reckoning

8 He surely will receive an easy reckoning,

9 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

9 And will return unto his folk in joy.

9 And will return to his family in joy!

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

10 But whoso is given his account behind his back,

10 But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,

11 Soon will he cry for perdition,

11 He surely will invoke destruction

11 He will invoke (for his) destruction,

12 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

12 And be thrown to scorching fire.

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

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

13 He verily lived joyous with his folk,

13 Verily, he was among his people in joy!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

16 Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

16 So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;

17 The Night and its Homing;

17 And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,

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

18 And the Moon in her fullness:

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

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

19 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

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).

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

20 What aileth them, then, that they believe not

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

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

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.

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

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.).

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

23 And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.

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

24 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

24 So give them tidings of a painful doom,

24 So announce to them a painful torment.

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

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).
