The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ When the sky is rent asunder 1 And attentive to her Lord in fear, 2 When the earth is stretched out taut 3 and casts out all that is within it and becomes empty; 4 and obeys its Lord as it must, 5 O human, you are working hard towards your Lord and you will meet Him. 6 Then whoso is given his account in his right hand 7 he shall surely receive an easy reckoning 8 and they will return to their people, delighted 9 But as for him whose record shall be given to him behind his back; 10 He shall presently call for death, 11 And he will enter a Blazing Fire. 12 Verily he was among his people joyous. 13 and surely thought he would never return (to his Lord). 14 Yea! his Lord had ever been beholding him. 15 So by oath of the late evening’s light. 16 And [by] the night and what it envelops 17 And by the moon when it is at the full, 18 You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter). 19 What aileth them then, that they believe not, 20 and when the Koran is recited to them that they do not prostrate! ۩ 21 No, the unbelievers only belie, 22 and God knows very well what they are secreting. 23 So announce to them a painful punishment~ 24 Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail. 25
