The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the heaven is split 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 it and becomes empty; 4 obeying its Lord, as it must do! 5 O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, so you will meet (i.e. the results of your deeds which you did). 6 And as for him whose record shall be placed in his right hand, 7 Soon an easy account will be taken from him. 8 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing! 9 But he who is given the Record behind his back, 10 He will cry out for destruction 11 And will go into the blazing fire. 12 They lived among their people joyfully 13 He assumed that he does not have to return. 14 Yes indeed, his Lord was ever watching him. 15 I swear by the afterglow of sunset, 16 The Night and its Homing; 17 And [by] the moon when it becomes full 18 [That] you will surely experience state after state. 19 What is the matter with them, that they believe not? 20 And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)? ۩ 21 No, the unbelievers only belie, 22 but God knows best whatever they accumulate in their hearts. 23 Therefore give them the glad tidings of a painful punishment. 24 except those that believe, and do righteous deeds -- theirs shall be a wage unfailing. 25
