The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the sky is torn apart, 1 And attentive to her Lord in fear, 2 when the earth is stretched out 3 and casts out what is within it and is emptied, 4 obeying its Lord, as it must do! 5 O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him. 6 Then he who is given his Record in his right hand, 7 shall have an easy reckoning 8 And he shall go back to his people joyful. 9 But whoso is given his account behind his back, 10 He surely will invoke destruction 11 And he shall roast into a Blaze. 12 Verily he was among his people joyous. 13 Never thinking he will return. 14 Yes indeed; his Lord had sight of him. 15 I swear by the glow of sunset, 16 The Night and its Homing; 17 And by oath of the moon when it is full. 18 you will progress from stage to stage. 19 So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe, 20 And when the Qur'an is recited to them do not bow in adoration? ۩ 21 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it). 22 But God knows what they harbour in their breasts. 23 So announce to them a painful punishment~ 24 But those who believe and work righteous works, theirs shall be a hire unending. 25
