The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the sky is rent asunder, 1 in obedience to the commands of their Lord which are incumbent on them, 2 when earth is stretched out 3 And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it] 4 And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] - 5 O man, you are striving unto your Lord and you will meet Him. 6 And he who is given his ledger in his right hand 7 He will be judged with an easy account 8 and shall return to his people joyfully. 9 But he who is given his Record behind his back,- 10 He will cry out for destruction 11 And [enter to] burn in a Blaze. 12 He used to live joyfully among his people, 13 Surely he thought that he would never return. 14 Yes indeed; his Lord had sight of him. 15 So by oath of the late evening’s light. 16 And by oath of the night and all that gathers in it. 17 And [by] the moon when it becomes full 18 that you shall surely ride from stage to stage. 19 What is the matter with them, 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 Allah knoweth best what they are hiding. 23 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous, 24 But those who believe and work righteous works, theirs shall be a hire unending. 25
