The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When the heaven bursts asunder, 1 And listens and obeys its Lord, and it must do so; 2 And when the earth shall be stretched forth. 3 and casts out all that is within and voids itself, 4 And obeys its Lord and it must. 5 O man, indeed you have to surely run towards your Lord, and to meet him. 6 The reckoning of those whose Book of records will be given into their right hands 7 will be easy, 8 And return to his people in happiness. 9 And whoever is given his record of deeds behind his back – 10 they will say, "Woe to us!" 11 And he shall roast into a Blaze. 12 He once lived among his family joyfully; 13 for he never thought that he would have to return [to God]. 14 Yea! his Lord had ever been beholding him. 15 I do not need to swear by the sunset, 16 and the night, and what it [step by step] unfolds, 17 And by oath of the moon when it is full. 18 You will surely go up level by level. 19 So, what is the matter with them that they do not believe, 20 and when the Koran is recited to them that they do not prostrate! ۩ 21 In fact, they reject the Quran, 22 And Allah knows best what they hide, 23 Therefore give to them glad tidings of a painful punishment, 24 except to those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for theirs is an unfailing recompense. 25
