The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the sky is rent asunder, 1 And hearkens to its Lord and is dutiful, 2 and when the earth is leveled, 3 and casts out all that is within it and becomes empty; 4 And hearkens to its Lord and is dutiful, 5 Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence). 6 Then he who is given his Record in his right hand, 7 He surely will receive an easy reckoning, 8 And will return to his family in joy! 9 But as for him who is given his book behind his back, 10 shall call for destruction 11 And he will enter a Blazing Fire. 12 He verily lived joyous with his folk, 13 and surely thought he would never return (to his Lord). 14 Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him. 15 But nay! I swear by the sunset redness, 16 by the night and what it covers, 17 And by the moon when she becometh full. 18 That you will climb from stage to stage. 19 What is wrong with them that they do not believe? 20 and [that,] when the Qur'an is read unto them, they do not fall down in prostration? ۩ 21 In fact the unbelievers disavow. 22 But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts) 23 Therefore give to them glad tidings of a painful punishment, 24 except for those who believe and do good deeds. Theirs shall be an unending reward. 25
