The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ When the sky is torn apart, 1 And it listens to the command of its Lord – and that befits it. 2 And when the earth is spread out. 3 And it unburdens itself of all that is in it, and becomes empty. 4 And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] - 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 Then, as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand, 7 Soon an easy account will be taken from him. 8 And return to his people in happiness. 9 But as for he who is given his record behind his back, 10 Will pray for death, 11 And [enter to] burn in a Blaze. 12 Indeed he used to rejoice in his home. 13 Never thinking he will return. 14 Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him. 15 So indeed I call to witness the evening twilight, 16 and the night and what it envelops 17 And by the moon when it is at the full, 18 you will progress from stage to stage. 19 What aileth them then, that they believe not, 20 and when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate themselves? ۩ 21 Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny; 22 but God knows best whatever they accumulate in their hearts. 23 Wherefore announce thou unto them a torment afflictive. 24 Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted. 25
