The Sundering, Splitting Open — Mustafa Khattab 2018 Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Bursting Asunder

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

When the sky bursts open,

Itha alssamao inshaqqat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

obeying its Lord as it must,

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and when the earth is flattened out,

Wa-itha al-ardu muddat

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and ejects ˹all˺ its contents and becomes empty,

Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

obeying its Lord as it must, ˹surely you will all be judged˺.

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

O humanity! Indeed, you are labouring restlessly towards your Lord, and will ˹eventually˺ meet the consequences.

Ya ayyuha al-insanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

As for those who are given their record in their right hand,

Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

Mustafa Khattab 2018

they will have an easy reckoning,

Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and will return to their people joyfully.

Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

And as for those who are given their record ˹in their left hand˺ from behind their backs,

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

Mustafa Khattab 2018

they will cry for ˹instant˺ destruction,

Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and will burn in the blazing Fire.

Wayasla saAAeeran

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

Mustafa Khattab 2018

For they used to be prideful among their people,

Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

thinking they would never return ˹to Allah˺.

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Yes ˹they would˺! Surely their Lord has always been All-Seeing of them.

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

So, I do swear by the twilight!

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

And by the night and whatever it envelops!

Waallayli wama wasaqa

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

And by the moon when it waxes full!

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

You will certainly pass from one state to another.

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

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

Fama lahum la yu/minoona

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and when the Quran is recited to them, they do not bow down ˹in submission˺?

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

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

In fact, the disbelievers persist in denial.

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

But Allah knows best whatever they hide.

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

So give them good news of a painful punishment.

Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

But those who believe and do good will have a never-ending reward.

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
