1 The Bursting Asunder

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ

When the sky is rent asunde

Itha alssamao inshaqqat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

and hearkens to the command of its Lord, doing what it should

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

and when the earth is stretched ou

Wa-itha al-ardu muddat

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

and casts out what is within it and is emptied

Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

and hearkens to the command of its Lord, doing what it should

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

O man, you are striving unto your Lord and you will meet Him

Ya ayyuha al-insanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

Whoever is given the Record in his right han

Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

shall be called to an easy accounting

Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

and shall return to his people joyfully

Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

But he who is given the Record behind his back

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

shall cry for "perdition,"

Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

and will enter the Blazing Fire

Wayasla saAAeeran

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

He used to live joyfully among his people

Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

thinking he would never revert (to Us)

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

But no; (how would he not revert)? His Lord was ever watching him

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

Nay; I swear by the twilight

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

and by the night and what it enfolds

Waallayli wama wasaqa

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

and by the moon, when it reaches its fullness

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

you shall proceed onwards from stage to 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 Qur´an is recited to them, they do not prostrate themselves

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

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

Instead, the unbelievers reject it, calling it a lie

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

Allah knows best what they are accumulating (in their Record)

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

So give them the good news of a painful chastisement

Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

except for those who believe and do good deeds. Theirs shall be an unending reward

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
