Al-Inshiqaq الإنشقاق

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim idha as-sama'u inshaqqat

When the sky has split [open]

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

wa-adhinat li-rabbiha wa-huqqat

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

wa-idha al-ardu muddat

And when the earth has been extended

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

wa-alqat ma fiha wa-takhallat

And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

wa-adhinat li-rabbiha wa-huqqat

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

ya ayyuha al-insan innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan fa-mulaqihi

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

fa-amma man utiya kitabuhu bi-yaminih

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

fa-sawfa yuhasabu hisaban yasiran

He will be judged with an easy account

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

wa-yanqalib ila ahlih masrur

And return to his people in happiness.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

wa-amma man utiya kitabuh wara' zahrih

But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

fa-sawfa yad'u thubur

He will cry out for destruction

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

wa-yasla sa'ir

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

innahu kana fi ahlihi masrur

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

innahu zanna an lan yahur

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

bala inna rabbahu kana bihi basiran

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

fa-la uqsimu bi-shafaq

So I swear by the twilight glow

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

wal-layl wa-ma wasaq

And [by] the night and what it envelops

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

wal-qamar idha ittaasaq

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

la-tarkabunna tabaqan 'an tabaqin

[That] you will surely experience state after state.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

fama lahum la yu'minun

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩

wa-idha quri'a 'alayhim al-qur'an la yasjudun

And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

bali alladhina kafaru yukadhdhibun

But those who have disbelieved deny,

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

wa-Allahu a'lamu bima yu'un

And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

fa-bashshirhum bi-'adhab alim

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

illa alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat lahum ajrun ghayru mamnunin

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
