The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the sky bursts open, 1 obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must; 2 and when the earth is stretched out 3 And has cast out all that was in it and became empty, 4 And it hearkeneth to its Lord, and is duteous. 5 O man, having striven hard towards your Lord, you shall meet Him: 6 Whoever is given the Record in his right hand 7 He truly will receive an easy reckoning 8 And he shall return unto his people joyfully. 9 And as to him who is given his book behind his back, 10 He shall presently call for death, 11 And be thrown to scorching fire. 12 Verily he was among his people joyous. 13 Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)! 14 Yea! his Lord had ever been beholding him. 15 So by oath of the late evening’s light. 16 And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness; 17 And by the moon when it is at the full, 18 Surely ye shall ride layer upon layer. 19 What is wrong with them that they do not believe? 20 and when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate themselves? ۩ 21 Yea those who disbelieve belie. 22 And Allah well knows what they conceal in their hearts. 23 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous, 24 except for those who believe and do good deeds. Theirs shall be an unending reward. 25
