الإنشقاق

Itha alssamao inshaqqat

When the sky is rent asunder,

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

and hearkens to its Lord[1], as it must,

Waitha alardu muddat

and when the earth is leveled out[2],

Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

and casts out all what it contains[3], and becomes empty,

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

and hearkens to its Lord, as it must,

Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

O humans, you are toiling towards your Lord[4], and you will surely meet Him[5].

Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

Whoever is given his Record in his right hand,

Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

he will have an easy reckoning,

Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

and he will return to his people joyfully.

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

But whoever is given his Record from behind his back,

Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

he will call out for destruction,

Wayasla saAAeeran

and he will enter the Blazing Fire.

Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

Indeed, he used to live among his people joyfully.

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

and he thought that he would never return [to Allah].

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

Indeed he will! His Lord was always watching him.

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

Indeed, I swear by the twilight,

Waallayli wama wasaqa

and by the night and what it covers,

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

and by the moon when it becomes full,

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

You will surely pass from one stage to another[6].

Fama lahum la yuminoona

Then what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

and when the Qur’an is recited to them, they do not prostrate?

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

Rather, the disbelievers persist in denying it,

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

but Allah knows best whatever they harbor in their hearts.

Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

So give them the tidings of a painful punishment.

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin

But those who believe and do righteous deeds will have a never-ending reward.
