1 The Bursting Asunder

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ

When the sky is ruptured,

Itha alssamao inshaqqat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

obeying its Lord, as it is bound to do.

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

When the earth is leveled out

Wa-itha al-ardu muddat

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

and has cast out what is in it, and becomes empty,

Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

obeying its Lord as it is bound to do,

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

O human being, you are laboring toward your Lord and you will meet Him.

Ya ayyuha al-insanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

Then, as for him who is given his record in his right hand,

Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

he will have an easy settlement,

Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

and will return to his family delighted.

Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

But, as for him who is given his record behind his back,

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

he will cry out for destruction,

Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

and will rekindle the Blaze.

Wayasla saAAeeran

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

He used to be happy among his family.

Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

He thought he would never return [to His Lord].

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

Yes he will! His Lord was always watching him.

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

So I swear by the twilight glow,

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

and the night and all it gathers,

Waallayli wama wasaqa

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

and the moon when it is full,

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

you will move onward 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 bow down [to God]?

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

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

But the unbelievers say it is lies,

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

but God knows best what they comprehend.

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

So give them the news of a painful punishment,

Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

except for those who believe and do good deeds. They will have a never ending reward.

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
