إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ
When the sky splits open.
The Rupture · al-Inshiqaq · سورة الانشقاق · 25 ayahs
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Kind.
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And listens to its Lord — as it must.
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And when the earth is stretched out.
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And throws out everything inside it, becoming empty.
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And listens to its Lord — as it must.
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
O human being, you are working hard toward your Lord, and you will surely meet Him.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
Then whoever is given their record in their right hand.
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
Will have an easy judgment.
وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
And will return happily to their family.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
But whoever is given their record behind their back.
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا
Will cry out for destruction.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
And will enter a blazing fire.
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
They used to be happy among their family.
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ
And thought they would never return to Allah.
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا
But yes — their Lord was always watching them.
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
I swear by the glow of sunset.
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And by the night and all it covers.
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
And by the moon when it becomes full.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ
You will surely move from stage to stage.
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
So why don't they believe?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
And when the Quran is recited to them, why don't they bow down?
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ
In fact, those who disbelieve keep rejecting the truth.
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
But Allah knows best what they hide inside.
فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
So give them news of a painful punishment.
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
Except those who believe and do good deeds; for them is a reward that never ends.
