Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky is rent asunder,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
وأذنت لربها وحقت
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth is flattened out,
وإذا الأرض مدت
Waitha alardu muddat
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
وأذنت لربها وحقت
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
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 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
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But 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
Soon will he cry for perdition,
فسوف يدعو ثبورا
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
ويصلى سعيرا
Wayasla saAAeeran
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
فلا أقسم بالشفق
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
The Night and its Homing;
والليل وما وسق
Waallayli wama wasaqa
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And the Moon in her fullness:
والقمر إذا اتسق
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
فما لهم لا يؤمنون
Fama lahum la yuminoona
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون ۩
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
والله أعلم بما يوعون
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
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
