Al-Inshiqaq
Quran Text — Al-Inshiqaq
84:1 When the sky fractures.
84:2 And obeys its Lord, as it must.
84:3 And when the earth is expanded.
84:4 And casts out whatever in it, and empties itself.
84:5 And it obeys its Lord, as it should.
84:6 O man, you are laboring towards your Lord, and you will surely encounter Him.
84:7 As for the one who is given his record in his right hand.
84:8 He will face an easy accounting.
84:9 And will return to his family happily.
84:10 But as for the one who is given his record behind his back.
84:11 He will call for annihilation.
84:12 And will be thrust into a roaring inferno.
84:13 He was once joyful among his family.
84:14 He thought he would never return.
84:15 Yet, his Lord was watchful over him.
84:16 So, I swear by the twilight’s glow.
84:17 And by the night, and all it encloses.
84:18 And by the moon, when it becomes full.
84:19 You will ascend from stage to stage.
84:20 So why, then, do they not believe?
84:21 And when the Quran is read to them, they don’t prostrate?
84:22 But those who disbelieve are in denial.
84:23 And Allah certainly knows what they are hiding.
84:24 So, give them the news of a severe punishment.
84:25 But for those who believe and do righteous deeds, theirs is an unending reward.
