When the sky is rent asunder,
Al-Inshiqaq 1
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);-
Al-Inshiqaq 2
And when the earth is flattened out,
Al-Inshiqaq 3
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
Al-Inshiqaq 4
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality).
Al-Inshiqaq 5
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.
Al-Inshiqaq 6
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
Al-Inshiqaq 7
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
Al-Inshiqaq 8
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
Al-Inshiqaq 9
But he who is given his Record behind his back,-
Al-Inshiqaq 10
Soon will he cry for perdition,
Al-Inshiqaq 11
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
Al-Inshiqaq 12
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Al-Inshiqaq 13
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
Al-Inshiqaq 14
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Al-Inshiqaq 15
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Al-Inshiqaq 16
The Night and its Homing;
Al-Inshiqaq 17
And the Moon in her fullness:
Al-Inshiqaq 18
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
Al-Inshiqaq 19
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-
Al-Inshiqaq 20
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
Al-Inshiqaq 21
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
Al-Inshiqaq 22
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
Al-Inshiqaq 23
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
Al-Inshiqaq 24
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
Al-Inshiqaq 25
