Surah Al-Inshiqaq

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ ۝١

Idhas-samaa'unshaqqat

When the sky has split [open]

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ۝٢

Wa'adhinat lirabbihaa wahuqqat

And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ ۝٣

Wa'idhal-ardu muddat

And when the earth has been extended

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ ۝٤

Wa'alqat maa feehaa watakhallat

And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ۝٥

Wa'adhinat lirabbihaa wahuqqat

And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] –

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ ۝٦

Yaa ayyuhal-insaanu innaka kaadihun ilaa rabbika kadhan famulaaqeeh

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ ۝٧

Fa'ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo biyameenih

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا ۝٨

Fasawfa yuhaasabu hisaabay yaseeraa

He will be judged with an easy account

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا ۝٩

Wayanqalibu ilaa ahlihee masrooraa

And return to his people in happiness.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ ۝١٠

Wa'ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo waraa'a zahrih

But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا ۝١١

Fasawfa yad`oo thubooraa

He will cry out for destruction

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ۝١٢

Wayaslaa sa`eeraa

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا ۝١٣

Innahoo kaana fee ahlihee masrooraa

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ ۝١٤

Innahoo zanna al lay yahoor

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allāh].

بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا ۝١٥

Balaa inna rabbahoo kaana bihee baseeraa

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever, of him, Seeing.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ ۝١٦

Falaa uqsimu bish-shafaq

So I swear by the twilight glow

وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ۝١٧

Wal-layli wamaa wasaq

And [by] the night and what it envelops

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ ۝١٨

Wal-qamari idhattasaq

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ ۝١٩

Latarkabunna tabaqan `an tabaq

[That] you will surely embark upon [i.e., experience] state after state.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ۝٢٠

Famaa lahum laa yu'minoon

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۝٢١

Wa'idhaa quri'a `alayhimul-qur'aanu laa yasjudoon

And when the Qur’ān is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allāh]?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ ۝٢٢

Balil-ladheena kafaroo yukadhdhiboon

But those who have disbelieved deny,

وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ۝٢٣

Wallaahu a`lamu bimaa yoo`oon

And Allāh is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ۝٢٤

Fabashshirhum bi`adhaabin aleem

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ ۝٢٥

Illal-ladheena aamanoo wa`amilus-saalihaati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoon

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
