The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ WHEN THE SKY is split asunder, 1 And obeys its Lord and it must. 2 and when the earth is leveled, 3 and casts forth whatever is in it, and becomes utterly void, 4 And attentive to her Lord in fear! 5 O man, you are striving unto your Lord and you will meet Him. 6 he who is given his record in his right hand 7 he will in time be called to account with an easy accounting, 8 And return to his people in happiness. 9 And as to him who is given his book behind his back, 10 Will pray for death, 11 They will suffer the heat of hell fire. 12 They lived among their people joyfully 13 He assumed that he does not have to return. 14 Why not? His Lord was always watching him. 15 No! I swear by the twilight 16 and the night, and what it [step by step] unfolds, 17 by the moon, in its fullness 18 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane. 19 What aileth them, then, that they believe not 20 and when the Koran is recited to them they do not bow? ۩ 21 Indeed, those who are bent on denying the truth reject it -- 22 And Allah well knows what they conceal in their hearts. 23 So announce to them a painful torment. 24 except those that believe, and do righteous deeds -- theirs shall be a wage unfailing. 25
