The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ When the sky is rent asunder, 1 And attentive to her Lord in fear, 2 And when the earth is flattened out, 3 And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty, 4 and obeys its Lord as it must, 5 O man, you have to strive and go on striving towards your Lord, then will you meet Him. 6 Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand, 7 He truly will receive an easy reckoning 8 and will [be able to] turn joyfully to those of his own kind. 9 but as for him whose record shall be given to him from behind his back, 10 he will pray for utter destruction 11 And he shall roast into a Blaze. 12 He used to live joyfully among his people, 13 Never thinking he will return. 14 Yes indeed; his Lord had sight of him. 15 I swear by the afterglow of sunset, 16 And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness; 17 And the moon when it grows full, 18 you shall surely ride stage after stage. 19 So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe, 20 And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)? ۩ 21 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it). 22 But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts) 23 So give them news of painful punishment, 24 Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail. 25
