The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the heaven bursts asunder, 1 And it hearkeneth to its Lord, and is duteous. 2 When the earth is stretched out taut 3 and casts forth what is in it, and voids itself, 4 And it hearkeneth to its Lord, and is duteous. 5 Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence). 6 The reckoning of those whose Book of records will be given into their right hands 7 Soon an easy account will be taken from him. 8 And return to his people in happiness. 9 But whosoever is given his Record behind his back, 10 Soon he will pray for death. 11 and he shall roast at a Blaze. 12 He used to be happy with his own people; 13 Surely he thought that he would never return. 14 Yea indeed! His Sustainer did see all that was in him! 15 So I swear by the afterglow of sunset; 16 And by the night and that which it driveth together, 17 And the Moon in her fullness: 18 you will progress from stage to stage. 19 So, wherefore do they not believe? 20 And when the Qur’an is recited to them, they do not fall prostrate? (Command of Prostration # 13) ۩ 21 But those who have disbelieved deny, 22 Allah knows best what they are accumulating (in their Record). 23 So give them news of painful punishment, 24 But those who believe and work righteous works, theirs shall be a hire unending. 25
