The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the heaven is split asunder 1 And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] 2 and when the earth is leveled, 3 and throws out of itself all that it contains 4 And listens and obeys its Lord, and it must 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 Whoever is given the Record in his right hand 7 Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning, 8 and he shall return to his people, joyfully, 9 But as for he who is given his record behind his back, 10 He surely will invoke destruction 11 And [enter to] burn in a Blaze. 12 Indeed he used to rejoice in his home. 13 Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)! 14 Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him. 15 But nay! I swear by the sunset redness, 16 and the night, and what it [step by step] unfolds, 17 And by oath of the moon when it is full. 18 you shall surely ride stage after stage. 19 What is the matter with them, that they believe not? 20 and when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate themselves? ۩ 21 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it). 22 and God knows very well what they are secreting. 23 Therefore give them the glad tidings of a painful punishment. 24 Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing. 25
