The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When heaven is rent asunder 1 And it hearkeneth to its Lord, and is duteous. 2 And when the earth is stretched forth, 3 And throws out whatever it contains and is empty, 4 And attentive to her Lord in fear! 5 O human, you are working hard towards your Lord and you will meet Him. 6 Then whoso is given his account in his right hand 7 will be easy, 8 And will return unto his folk in joy. 9 But he who is given the 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 He assumed that he does not have to return. 14 Yea indeed! His Sustainer did see all that was in him! 15 I do not need to swear by the sunset, 16 and the night and what it envelops 17 And by the moon when she is at the full, 18 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage. 19 What aileth them then, that they believe not, 20 When the Quran is read to them, why do they not fall to their knees? ۩ 21 No, the unbelievers only belie, 22 and God knows very well what they are secreting. 23 So announce to them a painful punishment~ 24 Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off. 25
