سُورَةُ الانشِقَاقِ
The Splitting Open • 25 verses • Meccan
WHEN THE SKY is split asunder,
obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must;
and when the earth is leveled,
and casts forth whatever is in it, and becomes utterly void,
obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must -:
[then,] O man - thou [that] hast, verily, been toiling towards thy Sustainer in painful toil - then shalt thou meet Him!
And as for him whose record shall be placed in his right hand,
he will in time be called to account with an easy accounting,
and will [be able to] turn joyfully to those of his own kind.
But as for him whose record shall be given to him behind his back;
he will in time pray for utter destruction:
but he will enter the blazing flame.
Behold, [in his earthly life] he lived joyfully among people of his own kind
for, behold, he never thought that he would have to return [to God].
Yea indeed! His Sustainer did see all that was in him!
