Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky is rent asunder,
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth is flattened out,
Waitha alardu muddat
And when the earth is spread out
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
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).
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
And will return unto his folk in joy.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
Soon will he cry for perdition,
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
He surely will invoke destruction
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
Wayasla saAAeeran
And be thrown to scorching fire.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
The Night and its Homing;
Waallayli wama wasaqa
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And the Moon in her fullness:
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
And by the moon when she is at the full,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
Fama lahum la yuminoona
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
