Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky has split [open]
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
وأذنت لربها وحقت
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth has been extended
وإذا الأرض مدت
Waitha alardu muddat
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
وأذنت لربها وحقت
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
يا أيها الإنسان إنك كادح إلى ربك كدحا فملاقيه
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
He will be judged with an easy account
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And return to his people in happiness.
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
He will cry out for destruction
فسوف يدعو ثبورا
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
ويصلى سعيرا
Wayasla saAAeeran
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
So I swear by the twilight glow
فلا أقسم بالشفق
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And [by] the night and what it envelops
والليل وما وسق
Waallayli wama wasaqa
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
والقمر إذا اتسق
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
فما لهم لا يؤمنون
Fama lahum la yuminoona
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون ۩
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
But those who have disbelieved deny,
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
والله أعلم بما يوعون
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
