The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the heaven is split asunder, 1 And obeys its Lord and it must. 2 when the earth flattens out, 3 and throws out of itself all that it contains 4 And it hearkeneth to its Lord, and is duteous. 5 O Man! Thou art labouring unto thy Lord laboriously, and thou shalt encounter Him. 6 Then, as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand, 7 He will be judged with an easy account 8 and shall return to his people joyfully. 9 But as for those whose Book of records will be given behind their backs, 10 He will cry out for destruction 11 and will enter the Blazing Fire. 12 They lived among their people joyfully 13 Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)! 14 This is a fact. Their Lord is Well-Aware of (all that they do). 15 So I swear by the twilight glow 16 and the night and what it envelops 17 and the moon when it grows full, 18 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane. 19 What is the matter with them, that they do not believe 20 And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance? ۩ 21 Instead, the unbelievers reject it, calling it a lie. 22 But God knows what they harbour in their breasts. 23 Therefore give them the glad tidings of a painful punishment. 24 But those who believe and work righteous works, theirs shall be a hire unending. 25
