1 The Bursting Asunder

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ

When the heaven shall be rent in sunder

Itha alssamao inshaqqat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

and shall obey its Lord, and shall be capable thereof

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

and when the earth shall be stretched out

Wa-itha al-ardu muddat

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

and shall cast forth that which is therein, and shall remain empty

Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

and shall obey its Lord, and shall be capable thereof

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

O man, verily labouring thou labourest to meet thy Lord, and thou shalt meet Him

Ya ayyuha al-insanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

And he who shall have his book given into his right hand

Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

shall be called to an easy account

Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

and shall turn unto his family with joy

Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

But he who shall have his book given him behind his back

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

shall invoke destruction to fall upon him

Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

and he shall be sent into hell to be burned

Wayasla saAAeeran

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

because he rejoiced insolently amidst his family on earth

Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

Verily he thought that he should never return unto God

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

Yea verily; but his Lord beheld him

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

Wherefore I swear by the redness of the sky after sun-set

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

and by the night, and the animals which it driveth together

Waallayli wama wasaqa

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

and by the moon when she is at the full

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

ye shall surely be transferred successively from state to state

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

What aileth them, therefore, that they believe not the resurrection

Fama lahum la yu/minoona

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ

and that, when the Koran is read unto them, they worship not

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

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

Yea: The unbelievers accuse the same of imposture

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

But God well knoweth the malice which they keep hidden in their breasts

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Wherefore denounce unto them a grievous punishment

Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

except those who believe and do good works: For them is prepared a never failing reward

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
