الإنشقاق
The Sundering
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ ١
Iżas-samā'unsyaqqat.
When the sky has split [open]
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ٢
Wa ażinat lirabbihā wa ḥuqqat.
And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ ٣
Wa iẓal-arḍu muddat.
And when the earth has been extended
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ ٤
Wa alqat mā fīhā wa takhallat.
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it].
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ٥
Wa ażinat lirabbihā wa ḥuqqat.
And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَـٰقِيهِ ٦
Yā ayyuhal-insānu innaka kādiḥun ilā rabbika kadḥan fa mulāqīh(i).
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ ٧
Fa ammā man ūtiya kitābahū biyamīnih(ī).
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا ٨
Fa saufa yuḥāsabu ḥisābay yasīrā(n).
He will be judged with an easy account
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا ٩
Wa yanqalibu ilā ahlihī masrūrā(n).
And return to his people in happiness.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ ١٠
Wa ammā man ūtiya kitābahū warā'a ẓahrih(ī).
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا ١١
Fa saufa yad‘ū ṡubūrā(n).
He will cry out for destruction
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ١٢
Wa yaṣlā sa‘īrā(n).
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا ١٣
Innahū kāna fī ahlihī masrūrā(n).
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ ١٤
Innahū ẓanna allay yaḥūr(a).
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allāh].
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا ١٥
Balā, inna rabbahū kāna bihī baṣīrā(n).
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever, of him, Seeing.
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ ١٦
Falā uqsimu bisy-syafaq(i).
So I swear by the twilight glow
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ١٧
Wal-laili wa mā wasaq(a).
And [by] the night and what it envelops
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ ١٨
Wal-qamari iżattasaq(a).
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ ١٩
Latarkabunna ṭabaqan ‘an ṭabaq(in).
[That] you will surely embark upon [i.e., experience] state after state.
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٠
Famā lahum lā yu'minūn(a).
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ٢١
Wa iżā quri'a ‘alaihimul-qur'ānu lā yasjudūn(a).
And when the Qur’ān is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allāh]?
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٢
Balil-lażīna kafarū yukażżibūn(a).
But those who have disbelieved deny,
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ٢٣
Wallāhu a‘lamu bimā yū‘ūn(a).
And Allāh is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٢٤
Fa basysyirhum bi‘ażābin alīm(in).
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ ٢٥
Illal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti lahum ajrun gairu mamnūn(in).
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
