Surah Al-Inshiqaq الإنشقاق

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتۡ ١

Idhas-samā'unshaqqat

When the sky has split [open]

وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ ٢

Wa adhinat lirabbihā wahuqqat

And has listened [i.e., responded]¹⁸⁸⁸ to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

وَإِذَا ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡ ٣

Wa idhal-ardu muddat

And when the earth has been extended¹⁸⁸⁹

وَأَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡ ٤

Wa alqat mā fīhā watakhallat

And has cast out that within it¹⁸⁹⁰ and relinquished [it]

وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ ٥

Wa adhinat lirabbihā wahuqqat

And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] –

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدۡحٗا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ ٦

Yā'ayyuhal-insānu innaka kādihun ilā rabbika kadhan famulāqīh

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion¹⁸⁹¹ and will meet it.¹⁸⁹²

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ ٧

Fa ammā man ūtiya kitābahū biyamīnih

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابٗا يَسِيرٗا ٨

Fasawfa yuhāsabu hisāban yasīrā

He will be judged with an easy account

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورٗا ٩

Wayanqalibu ilā ahlihī masrūrā

And return to his people in happiness.

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهِۦ ١٠

Wa ammā man ūtiya kitābahū warā'a zahrih

But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُواْ ثُبُورٗا ١١

Fasawfa yad'ū thubūrā

He will cry out for destruction

وَيَصۡلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ١٢

Wayaslā sa'īrā

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورًا ١٣

Innahū kāna fī ahlihī masrūrā

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ ١٤

Innahū zanna al lan yahūr

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allāh].

بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرٗا ١٥

Balā inna rabbahū kāna bihī basīrā

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever, of him, Seeing.

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ ١٦

Falā uqsimu bish-shafaq

So I swear by the twilight glow

وَٱلَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ١٧

Wallayli wamā wasaq

And [by] the night and what it envelops

وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ ١٨

Wal-qamari idhat-tasaq

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٖ ١٩

Latarkabunna tabaqan 'an tabaq

[That] you will surely embark upon [i.e., experience] state after state.¹⁸⁹³

فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٢٠

Famā lahum lā yu'minūn

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ لَا يَسۡجُدُونَۤ۩ ٢١

Wa idhā quri'a 'alayhimul-qur'ānu lā yasjudūn

And when the Qur’ān is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allāh]?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٢

Balil-ladhīna kafarū yukaddhibūn

But those who have disbelieved deny,

وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ٢٣

Wallāhu a'lamu bimā yū'ūn

And Allāh is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٢٤

Fabasshirhum bi'adhābin alīm

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونِۭ ٢٥

Illal-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti lahum ajrun ghayru mamnūn

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
