The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ When the sky has split [open] 1 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);- 2 And when the earth is spread out 3 And has cast out all that was in it and became empty, 4 obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must: 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 he who is given his record in his right hand 7 he shall surely receive an easy reckoning 8 And return to his people in happiness. 9 But whosoever is given his Record behind his back, 10 Will pray for death, 11 And [enter to] burn in a Blaze. 12 Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness; 13 Never thinking he will return. 14 Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him. 15 I swear by the afterglow of sunset, 16 And the night and that which it drives on, 17 and the moon when it 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 Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)? ۩ 21 No, the unbelievers only belie, 22 And Allah knows best what they hide, 23 So give them news of 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
