The Splitting (Al-Inshiqaaq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the heaven is sundered. 1 And attentive to her Lord in fear, 2 And when the earth is spread out 3 And shall cast forth that which is therein, and shall become empty. 4 And attentive to her Lord in fear! 5 O man, indeed you have to surely run towards your Lord, and to meet him. 6 Then, he who is given his Book in his right hand 7 shall have an easy reckoning 8 And will return unto his folk in joy. 9 But he who is given the Record behind his back, 10 He shall call for perdition, 11 And he will enter a Blazing Fire. 12 Verily, he was among his people in joy! 13 He assumed that he does not have to return. 14 But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing. 15 So indeed I call to witness the evening twilight, 16 by the night and all that it envelops; 17 and the moon when it is at the full, 18 [That] you will surely experience state after state. 19 What is the matter with them, that they do not believe 20 When the Quran is read to them, why do they not fall to their knees? ۩ 21 Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth. 22 and Allah knows very well what they gather. 23 So give them news of painful punishment, 24 except for those who believe and do good deeds. Theirs shall be an unending reward. 25
