The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When heaven is rent asunder 1 And hearkens to its Lord and is dutiful, 2 And when the earth is spread out 3 and casts forth whatever is in it, and becomes utterly void, 4 and hearkens to the command of its Lord, doing what it should. 5 O man, you have to strive and go on striving towards your Lord, then will you meet Him. 6 Then whoso is given his account in his right hand 7 He truly will receive an easy reckoning 8 And will return to his people full of joy. 9 But as for him who is given his book behind his back, 10 He will cry out for destruction 11 And he will enter a Blazing Fire. 12 Indeed he used to rejoice in his home. 13 and had thought that they would never be brought back to life again. 14 Why not? His Lord was always watching him. 15 So I swear by the twilight glow 16 or by the night in which things all come together to rest, 17 And by the moon when she becometh full. 18 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane. 19 What is the matter with them that they do not accept faith? 20 And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]? ۩ 21 But those who have disbelieved deny, 22 God is quite aware of what they are storing in their hearts. 23 So announce to them a painful punishment~ 24 Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing. 25
