The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the heaven bursts asunder, 1 and gives ear to its Lord, and is fitly disposed; 2 And when the earth is stretched, 3 and casts forth what is in it, and voids itself, 4 And listens and obeys its Lord, and it must do so; 5 O human, you are working hard towards your Lord and you will meet Him. 6 Then, he who is given his Book in his right hand 7 shall have an easy reckoning 8 And will return to his family in joy! 9 but as for him whose record shall be given to him from behind his back, 10 He shall presently call for death, 11 And [enter to] burn in a Blaze. 12 Indeed he used to rejoice in his home. 13 he surely thought he would never revert. 14 Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him. 15 Nay; I swear by the twilight; 16 and by the night and what it enfolds, 17 and the moon when it is at the full, 18 That you will climb from stage to stage. 19 But what is the matter with them that they do not believe, 20 And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance? ۩ 21 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it). 22 and Allah knows very well what they gather. 23 Therefore, give them the news of a painful punishment. 24 Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off. 25
