The Sundering, Splitting Open — Bridges Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Bursting Asunder

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ

When the sky is ruptured

Itha alssamao inshaqqat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

and listens to its Lord as it rightly must,

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

and when the earth is leveled out

Wa-itha al-ardu muddat

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

and casts out what is in it and becomes empty

Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

and listens to its Lord as it rightly must—

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

O man, you are laboring towards your Lord laboriously, then you are bound to meet Him.

Ya ayyuha al-insanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

So as for the one who was brought his record in his right hand,

Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

he will have an easy reckoning

Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

and will return to his family joyful.

Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

But as for the one who was brought his record behind his back,

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

he will call for demise

Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

and will roast at the Blaze.

Wayasla saAAeeran

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

Indeed, he used to be joyful among his family;

Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

indeed, he thought he would never return.

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

Yes, surely his Lord has always been All-Seeing of him.

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

So, No! I swear by the twilight.

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

By the night and what it covers.

Waallayli wama wasaqa

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

By the moon as it grows full—

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

youpl will surely mount stage by stage.

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

So what is the matter with them that they do not believe?

Fama lahum la yu/minoona

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ

And when the Recital is recited to them, they do not prostrate themselves?

Wa-itha quri-a AAalayhimu alqur-anu la yasjudoona

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

Rather, the deniers disbelieve,

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

but Allah knows better what they hide inside.

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

So give them glad tidings of a painful punishment—

Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

except for those who have attained faith and have done righteous deeds; for them is an unfailing reward.

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
