The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the sky is rent asunder, 1 in obedience to the commands of their Lord which are incumbent on them, 2 And when the earth is flattened out, 3 and throws out of itself all that it contains 4 And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to 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 Will have an easy reckoning, 8 and will [be able to] turn joyfully to those of his own kind. 9 But he who is given his Book from behind his back 10 Will pray for death, 11 They will suffer the heat of hell fire. 12 Verily he was among his people joyous. 13 he surely thought he would never revert. 14 Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him! 15 So I swear by the twilight glow 16 and the night, and what it [step by step] unfolds, 17 And by the moon when she is at the full, 18 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane. 19 What is wrong with them that they do not believe? 20 And when the Quran is recited to them, they fall not prostrate, ۩ 21 Indeed, those who are bent on denying the truth reject it -- 22 and God knows very well what they are secreting. 23 So announce to them a painful punishment~ 24 But for those who believe and do good works; for them there shall be a never-ending reward. 25
