إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ (1)
When the heaven is split asunder |
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ (2)
And listens and obeys its Lord, and it must do so |
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ (3)
And when the earth is stretched forth |
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ (4)
And has cast out all that was in it and became empty |
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ (5)
And listens and obeys its Lord, and it must do so |
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ (6)
O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, so you will meet (i.e. the results of your deeds which you did) |
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ (7)
Then, as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand |
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا (8)
He surely will receive an easy reckoning |
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا (9)
And will return to his family in joy |
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ (10)
But whosoever is given his Record behind his back |
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا (11)
He will invoke (his) destruction |
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا (12)
And shall enter a blazing Fire, and made to taste its burning |
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا (13)
Verily, he was among his people in joy |
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ (14)
Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us) |
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا (15)
Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him |
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ (16)
So I swear by the afterglow of sunset |
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ (17)
And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness |
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ (18)
And by the moon when it is at the full |
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ (19)
You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter) |
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ (20)
What is the matter with them, that they believe not |
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ (21)
And when the Quran is recited to them, they fall not prostrate |
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ (22)
Nay, (on the contrary), those who disbelieve, belie (Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and whatever he brought, i.e. this Quran and Islamic Monotheism, etc |
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ (23)
And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds) |
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ (24)
So announce to them a painful torment |
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ (25)
Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise) |
