Al-Inshiqaq


(84:1) When the sky is rent asunder

(84:2) and hearkens to the command1 of its Lord, doing what it
should;

(84:3) and when the earth is stretched out2

(84:4) and casts out what is within it and is emptied,3

(84:5) and hearkens to the command of its Lord, doing what it should.4

(84:6) O man, you are striving unto your Lord5 and you will meet
Him.

(84:7) Whoever is given the Record in his right hand

(84:8) shall be called to an easy accounting,6

(84:9) and shall return to his people joyfully.7

(84:10) But he who is given the Record behind his back,8

(84:11) shall cry for “perdition,”

(84:12) and will enter the Blazing Fire.

(84:13) He used to live joyfully among his people,9

(84:14) thinking he would never revert (to Us).

(84:15) But no; (how would he not revert)? His Lord was ever watching him.0

(84:16) Nay; I swear by the twilight;

(84:17) and by the night and what it enfolds,

(84:18) and by the moon, when it reaches its fullness:

(84:19) you shall proceed onwards from stage to stage.1

(84:20) So, what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

(84:21) and when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate2
themselves?

(84:22) Instead, the unbelievers reject it, calling it a lie.

(84:23) Allah knows best what they are accumulating (in their Record).3

(84:24) So give them the good news of a painful chastisement,

(84:25) except for those who believe and do good deeds. Theirs shall be an
unending reward.
