আল ইনশিকাক (চুর্ণ বিচুর্ণ হওয়া)

1 When the sky is rent asunder,

1 When the heaven bursts 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 obeys its Lord and it must.

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 stretched,

3 And when the earth is stretched forth,

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

4 And casts forth what is in it and becomes 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 obeys its Lord and it must.

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

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 as to him who is given his book 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 shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,

8 He surely will receive an easy reckoning,

9 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

9 And he shall go back to his people joyful.

9 And will return to his family in joy!

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

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

10 But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,

11 Soon will he cry for perdition,

11 He shall call for perdition,

11 He will invoke (for his) destruction,

12 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

12 And enter into burning 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 Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.

13 Verily, he was among his people in joy!

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

14 Surely he thought that he would never return.

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

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

15 Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.

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

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

16 But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

16 So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;

17 The Night and its Homing;

17 And the night and that which it drives on,

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

18 And the Moon in her fullness:

18 And the moon when it grows full,

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

19 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

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

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

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 Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?

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! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.

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 knows best what they hide,

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

24 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

24 So announce to them a painful punishment~

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

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).
