The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ WHEN THE SKY is split asunder, 1 and hearkens to the command of its Lord, doing what it should; 2 when the earth is stretched out 3 And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty 4 obeying its Lord, as it must do! 5 O human, you are working hard towards your Lord and you will meet Him. 6 he who is given his record in his right hand 7 He will be judged with an easy account 8 And will return to his family in joy! 9 But as for he who is given his record behind his back, 10 He will cry out for destruction 11 and roast at the Blaze. 12 He used to be happy with his own people; 13 for, behold, he never thought that he would have to return [to God]. 14 Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him! 15 I swear by the glow of sunset, 16 and the night and what it envelops 17 and the moon when it is at the full, 18 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane. 19 Then what ails them, that they believe not, 20 And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate, ۩ 21 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it). 22 Whereas Allah knoweth best that which they cherish. 23 So announce to them a painful punishment~ 24 Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing. 25
