The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the heaven is split asunder, 1 And it hearkeneth to its Lord, and is duteous. 2 when the earth is stretched out 3 And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it] 4 and gives ear to its Lord, and is fitly disposed! 5 O man, indeed you have to surely run towards your Lord, and to meet him. 6 Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand, 7 Will have an easy reckoning, 8 And return to his people in happiness. 9 But he who is given the Record behind his back, 10 He surely will invoke destruction 11 and roast at the Blaze. 12 Once, he lived joyfully among his family 13 Never thinking he will return. 14 Yea! his Lord had ever been beholding him. 15 So by oath of the late evening’s light. 16 The Night and its Homing; 17 And the Moon in her fullness: 18 that you shall surely ride from stage to stage. 19 So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe, 20 Why, when the Quran is recited to them, do they not prostrate themselves? ۩ 21 In fact, they reject the Quran, 22 And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves. 23 So announce to them a painful torment. 24 But those who believe and work righteous works, theirs shall be a hire unending. 25
