The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the heavens are rent asunder 1 And obeys its Lord and it must. 2 And when the earth is spread out. 3 And has cast out all that was in it and became empty, 4 obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must: 5 Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence). 6 So whoever is given his record of deeds in his right hand – 7 shall have an easy reckoning 8 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing! 9 But whoso is given his account behind his back, 10 He will cry out for destruction 11 and he will enter the blazing flame. 12 Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing! 13 Never thinking he will return. 14 Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him. 15 But nay! I swear by the sunset redness, 16 And by the night and all that it enshroudeth, 17 And [by] the moon when it becomes full 18 you shall proceed onwards from stage to stage. 19 So, what is the matter with them that they do not believe, 20 and when the Koran is recited to them that they do not prostrate! ۩ 21 Instead, the unbelievers reject it, calling it a lie. 22 but God knows best whatever they accumulate in their hearts. 23 (Muhammad), tell them that they will all suffer a painful torment 24 except those that believe, and do righteous deeds -- theirs shall be a wage unfailing. 25
