The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the heaven is split asunder, 1 And obeys its Lord and it must. 2 And when the earth shall be stretched forth. 3 And throws out whatever it contains and is empty, 4 obeying its Lord, as it must do! 5 O human, you are working hard towards your Lord and you will meet Him. 6 Whoever is given the Record in his right hand 7 he will in time be called to account with an easy accounting, 8 And he shall return unto his people joyfully. 9 But as for him whose record shall be given to him behind his back; 10 they will say, "Woe to us!" 11 And [enter to] burn in a Blaze. 12 Indeed he used to rejoice in his home. 13 He assumed that he does not have to return. 14 Yes indeed; his Lord had sight of him. 15 No! I swear by the twilight 16 And by oath of the night and all that gathers in it. 17 by the moon, in its fullness 18 that you shall surely ride from stage to stage. 19 What is the matter with them that they do not accept faith? 20 Why, when the Quran is recited to them, do they not prostrate themselves? ۩ 21 In fact the disbelievers keep denying. 22 And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves. 23 (Muhammad), tell them that they will all suffer a painful torment 24 except the righteously striving believers, who will receive a never-ending reward. 25
