The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ When the sky is rent asunder 1 obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must; 2 And when the earth is spread out 3 and casts out all that is within and voids itself, 4 and obeys its Lord as it must, 5 O human, you are working hard towards your Lord and you will meet Him. 6 So whoever is given his record of deeds in his right hand – 7 shall be called to an easy accounting, 8 And will return unto his folk in joy. 9 But as for he who is given his record behind his back, 10 Will pray for death, 11 And shall enter a blazing Fire, and made to taste its burning. 12 He used to live joyfully among his people, 13 Never thinking he will return. 14 Surely yes, why not? Indeed his Lord is seeing him. 15 No! I swear by the twilight 16 And the night and that which it drives on, 17 And the moon when it grows full, 18 That you will climb from stage to stage. 19 Then what ails them, that they believe not, 20 and [that,] when the Qur'an is read unto them, they do not fall down in prostration? ۩ 21 In fact the disbelievers keep denying. 22 And Allah well knows what they conceal in their hearts. 23 Therefore give to them glad tidings of a painful punishment, 24 Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted. 25
