| The Rending -Al-'Inshiqaq | |||
| In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful | |||
| 1 | [ 84. 1 ] When the sky is torn apart, | ||
| 2 | [ 84. 2 ] hearing and obeying its Lord, as it must do; | ||
| 3 | [ 84. 3 ] when the earth is stretched out | ||
| 4 | [ 84. 4 ] and casts out all that is within and voids itself, | ||
| 5 | [ 84. 5 ] obeying its Lord, as it must do! | ||
| 6 | [ 84. 6 ] O human, you are working hard towards your Lord and you will meet Him. | ||
| 7 | [ 84. 7 ] Then, he who is given his Book in his right hand | ||
| 8 | [ 84. 8 ] shall have an easy reckoning | ||
| 9 | [ 84. 9 ] and will return rejoicing to his family. | ||
| 10 | [ 84. 10 ] But he who is given his Book from behind his back | ||
| 11 | [ 84. 11 ] shall call for destruction | ||
| 12 | [ 84. 12 ] and roast at the Blaze. | ||
| 13 | [ 84. 13 ] Once, he lived joyfully among his family | ||
| 14 | [ 84. 14 ] and surely thought he would never return ( to his Lord ). | ||
| 15 | [ 84. 15 ] Yes indeed, his Lord was ever watching him. | ||
| 16 | [ 84. 16 ] I swear by the twilight; | ||
| 17 | [ 84. 17 ] by the night and all that it envelops; | ||
| 18 | [ 84. 18 ] by the moon, in its fullness | ||
| 19 | [ 84. 19 ] that you shall surely ride from stage to stage. | ||
| 20 | [ 84. 20 ] What is the matter with them, that they do not believe | ||
| 21 | [ 84. 21 ] and when the Koran is recited to them that they do not prostrate! | ||
| 22 | [ 84. 22 ] No, the unbelievers only belie, | ||
| 23 | [ 84. 23 ] and Allah knows very well what they gather. | ||
| 24 | [ 84. 24 ] Therefore give to them glad tidings of a painful punishment, | ||
| 25 | [ 84. 25 ] except to those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for theirs is an unfailing recompense. | ||
