The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ When the heaven is sundered. 1 obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must; 2 And when the earth is flattened out, 3 and throws out of itself all that it contains 4 And obeys its Lord and it must. 5 Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence). 6 And as for him whose record shall be placed in his right hand, 7 will be easy, 8 and he shall return to his people, joyfully, 9 And as to him who is given his book behind his back, 10 He will cry out for destruction 11 And enter into burning fire. 12 Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing! 13 he surely thought he would never revert. 14 Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him. 15 I swear by the twilight; 16 and the night and what it envelops 17 And by the moon when she is at the full, 18 that you shall surely ride from stage to stage. 19 What is the matter with them? Why do they not believe? 20 And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)? ۩ 21 Indeed, those who are bent on denying the truth reject it -- 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 to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail. 25
