The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ When the sky is rent asunder, 1 And it hearkeneth to its Lord, and is duteous. 2 And when the earth is spread out. 3 and casts out all that is within it and becomes empty; 4 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality). 5 O man, having striven hard towards your Lord, you shall meet Him: 6 The reckoning of those whose Book of records will be given into their right hands 7 Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning, 8 and will return rejoicing to his family. 9 But as for him who is given his book behind his back, 10 shall call for destruction 11 And he shall roast into a Blaze. 12 He verily lived joyous with his folk, 13 thinking he would never revert (to Us). 14 But he will indeed! His Lord was ever watching him. 15 I swear by the glow of sunset, 16 or by the night in which things all come together to rest, 17 and the moon when it grows full, 18 Surely ye shall ride layer upon layer. 19 But what is the matter with them that they do not believe, 20 When the Quran is read to them, why do they not fall to their knees? ۩ 21 Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny; 22 And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves. 23 Therefore, give them the news of a painful punishment. 24 Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail. 25
