The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ WHEN THE SKY is split asunder, 1 And attentive to her Lord in fear, 2 and when the earth is stretched out 3 And shall cast forth that which is therein, and shall become empty. 4 in obedience to the commands of its Lord which are incumbent on it, (the human being will receive due recompense for his deeds). 5 Human being, you strive hard to get closer to your Lord, and so you will certainly receive the recompense (of your deeds). 6 Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand, 7 Soon an easy account will be taken from him. 8 and he will return to his family joyfully. 9 But he who is given his Book from behind his back 10 they will say, "Woe to us!" 11 And [enter to] burn in a Blaze. 12 They lived among their people joyfully 13 He assumed that he does not have to return. 14 Why not? His Lord was always watching him. 15 I swear by the afterglow of sunset, 16 And by oath of the night and all that gathers in it. 17 And the moon when at the full, 18 you will progress from stage to stage. 19 What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?- 20 And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate, ۩ 21 No, the unbelievers only belie, 22 and Allah knows very well what they gather. 23 Hence, give them the tiding of grievous suffering [in the life to come] 24 except the righteously striving believers, who will receive a never-ending reward. 25
