The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ When the heaven bursts asunder, 1 obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must; 2 And when the earth is spread out. 3 And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty 4 And attentive to her Lord in fear! 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 The reckoning of those whose Book of records will be given into their right hands 7 shall be called to an easy accounting, 8 and shall return to his people joyfully. 9 And as to him who shall be given his book from behind his back 10 He shall call for perdition, 11 and will enter the Blazing Fire. 12 He verily lived joyous with his folk, 13 Surely he thought that he would never return. 14 Yea! his Lord had ever been beholding him. 15 No! I swear by the twilight 16 And [by] the night and what it envelops 17 and the moon when it is at the full, 18 you shall surely ride stage after stage. 19 What is the matter with them that they do not accept faith? 20 And that, when the Qur'an is read unto them, they prostrate not them-selves! ۩ 21 Yea those who disbelieve belie. 22 And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding. 23 (Muhammad), tell them that they will all suffer a painful torment 24 Except those who believe and do the right: For them there is reward unending. 25
