When the sky splits apart

When the earth distends

Wa-itha al-ardu muddat

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

Casts off its contents, and becomes bare and blank

Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

It will heed its Lord´s command, as it truly must

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

Dr. Munir Munshey

Oh man! Indeed, you are steadily advancing towards your Lord. You shall meet Him

Ya ayyuha al-insanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

Dr. Munir Munshey

Then, the one who is given his record (of deeds) in his right (hand)

Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

Dr. Munir Munshey

Will truly face a light (and lenient) reckoning

Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

Dr. Munir Munshey

And will happily return to his folks

Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

Dr. Munir Munshey

But the one who is given his record of deed behind his back

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

Will call for (his own) death

Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

Dr. Munir Munshey

But will roast in the fiery blaze

Wayasla saAAeeran

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

Dr. Munir Munshey

(In his life), he had been happy (and contented) among his kin

Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

Dr. Munir Munshey

And (spuriously) assumed that he would never have to come back (to his Lord)

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

Dr. Munir Munshey

Why not? His Lord was (always) watching all his deeds

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

Dr. Munir Munshey

No! Really, I swear by the sunset glow

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

Dr. Munir Munshey

And the night, and everything it enshrouds

Waallayli wama wasaqa

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

Dr. Munir Munshey

And the moon when it is full

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

Dr. Munir Munshey

You would definitely move along, from one stage to another

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Dr. Munir Munshey

What is with them? Why don´t they believe

Fama lahum la yu/minoona

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ

Dr. Munir Munshey

When the Qur´an is recited before them, why do they not fall prostrate

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

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

Dr. Munir Munshey

Instead, the unbelievers refuse to accept

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

Dr. Munir Munshey

Indeed, Allah (alone) knows what (kind of) deeds they collect

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Dr. Munir Munshey

So give them the news of a painful punishment

Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

Dr. Munir Munshey

(Which will strike all), except those who believe and perform righteous deeds. For them, there exists an unrestricted, ever-lasting reward

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
