The Splitting Asunder

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

84:1

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ

When the sky has split [open]

84:2

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

84:3

وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

And when the earth has been extended

84:4

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

84:5

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -

84:6

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًۭا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.

84:7

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

84:8

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًۭا يَسِيرًۭا

He will be judged with an easy account

84:9

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًۭا

And return to his people in happiness.

84:10

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ

But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

84:11

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًۭا

He will cry out for destruction

84:12

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

84:13

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

84:14

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].

84:15

بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًۭا

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.

84:16

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ

So I swear by the twilight glow

84:17

وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

And [by] the night and what it envelops

84:18

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

84:19

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍۢ

[That] you will surely experience state after state.

84:20

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

84:21

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩

And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?

84:22

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ

But those who have disbelieved deny,

84:23

وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

84:24

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

84:25

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
