سُورَةُ الانشِقَاقِ

The Splitting Open25 verses • Meccan

1
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ إِذَا ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ ٱنشَقَّتۡ

WHEN THE SKY is split asunder,

2
وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ

obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must;

3
وَإِذَا ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡ

and when the earth is leveled,

4
وَأَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِیهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡ

and casts forth whatever is in it, and becomes utterly void,

5
وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ

obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must -:

6
یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدۡحࣰا فَمُلَـٰقِیهِ

[then,] O man - thou [that] hast, verily, been toiling towards thy Sustainer in painful toil - then shalt thou meet Him!

7
فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِیَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِیَمِینِهِۦ

And as for him whose record shall be placed in his right hand,

8
فَسَوۡفَ یُحَاسَبُ حِسَابࣰا یَسِیرࣰا

he will in time be called to account with an easy accounting,

9
وَیَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰۤ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورࣰا

and will [be able to] turn joyfully to those of his own kind.

10
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِیَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ وَرَاۤءَ ظَهۡرِهِۦ

But as for him whose record shall be given to him behind his back;

11
فَسَوۡفَ یَدۡعُوا۟ ثُبُورࣰا

he will in time pray for utter destruction:

12
وَیَصۡلَىٰ سَعِیرًا

but he will enter the blazing flame.

13
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِیۤ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورًا

Behold, [in his earthly life] he lived joyfully among people of his own kind

14
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن یَحُورَ

for, behold, he never thought that he would have to return [to God].

15
بَلَىٰۤۚ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِیرࣰا

Yea indeed! His Sustainer did see all that was in him!
