84. Al-Inshiqaq - The Splitting Asunder
| 1 | When the heaven breaks apart. |
| 2 | And it listens to the command of its Lord – and that befits it. |
| 3 | And when the earth is spread out. |
| 4 | And it unburdens itself of all that is in it, and becomes empty. |
| 5 | And it listens to the command of its Lord – and that befits it. |
| 6 | O man, indeed you have to surely run towards your Lord, and to meet him. |
| 7 | So whoever is given his record of deeds in his right hand – |
| 8 | Soon an easy account will be taken from him. |
| 9 | And he will return to his family rejoicing. |
| 10 | And whoever is given his record of deeds behind his back – |
| 11 | Soon he will pray for death. |
| 12 | And will go into the blazing fire. |
| 13 | Indeed he used to rejoice in his home. |
| 14 | He assumed that he does not have to return. |
| 15 | Surely yes, why not? Indeed his Lord is seeing him. |
| 16 | So by oath of the late evening’s light. |
| 17 | And by oath of the night and all that gathers in it. |
| 18 | And by oath of the moon when it is full. |
| 19 | You will surely go up level by level. |
| 20 | What is the matter with them that they do not accept faith? |
| 21 | And when the Qur’an is recited to them, they do not fall prostrate? (Command of Prostration # 13) |
| 22 | In fact the disbelievers keep denying. |
| 23 | And Allah well knows what they conceal in their hearts. |
| 24 | Therefore give them the glad tidings of a painful punishment. |
| 25 | Except those who believed and did good deeds – for them is a reward that will never end. |
