The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ WHEN THE SKY is split asunder, 1 and hearkens to the command of its Lord, doing what it should; 2 And when the earth shall be stretched forth. 3 and casts out all that is within and voids itself, 4 And attentive to her Lord in fear! 5 Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence). 6 Then he who is given his Record in his right hand, 7 He will be judged with an easy account 8 and they will return to their people, delighted 9 But he who is given his ledger from behind his back 10 He shall call for perdition, 11 They will suffer the heat of hell fire. 12 He verily lived joyous with his folk, 13 He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah). 14 Yea indeed! His Sustainer did see all that was in him! 15 So by oath of the late evening’s light. 16 by the night and all that it envelops; 17 And the moon when at the full, 18 That you shall most certainly enter one state after another. 19 What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?- 20 and when the Koran is recited to them they do not bow? ۩ 21 In fact the unbelievers disavow. 22 And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds), 23 So announce to them a painful torment. 24 except the righteously striving believers, who will receive a never-ending reward. 25
