The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ When the heaven is sundered. 1 and obeys its Lord as it must, 2 And when the earth is stretched, 3 And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it] 4 obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must: 5 O human, you are working hard towards your Lord and you will meet Him. 6 Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand, 7 His account shall presently be taken by an easy reckoning. 8 And he will return to his family rejoicing. 9 But he who is given the Record behind his back, 10 He shall call for perdition, 11 and will enter the Blazing Fire. 12 Indeed he used to rejoice in his home. 13 he surely thought he would never revert. 14 Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him! 15 Nay; I swear by the twilight; 16 And by the night and that which it driveth together, 17 and the moon when it grows full, 18 Ye shall surely travel 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 In fact, they reject the Quran, 22 but God knows best whatever they accumulate in their hearts. 23 Therefore, give them the news of a painful punishment. 24 unless it be such [of them] as [repent, and] attain to faith, and do good works; for theirs shall be a reward unending! 25
