The Sundering, Splitting Open — Sher Ali Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Bursting Asunder

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ

When the heaven bursts asunder

Itha alssamao inshaqqat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And hearkens unto her Lord - and this is incumbent upon her

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

And when the earth is spread ou

Wa-itha al-ardu muddat

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

And cast out all that is in her, and appears to become empty

Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And hearkens unto her Lord - and this is incumbent upon her

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

Verily, thou, O man, art toiling along towards thy Lord, a hard toiling; until thou 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, surely, have an easy reckoning

Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

And he will return to his family, rejoicing

Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

But as for him who will have his record given to him behind his back

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

He will soon call for destruction

Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

And he will burn in a blazing Fire

Wayasla saAAeeran

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

Verily, before this he used to pass his time joyfully among his people

Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

He, indeed, thought that he would never return to God

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

Yea ! surely, his Lord was ever Watchful of him

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

But nay ! I call to witness the glow of sunset

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

And the night and all that it envelops

Waallayli wama wasaqa

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

And the moon when it becomes full

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

That you shall, assuredly, pass on from one stage to another

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

So what is the matter with them that they believe not

Fama lahum la yu/minoona

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ

And when the Qur'an is recited unto them, they do not bow in submission

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

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

On the contrary, those who disbelieve reject it

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

And ALLAH knows best what they keep hidden in their hearts

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

So give them tidings of a painful punishment

Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

But as to those who believe and do good works, theirs is an unending reward

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
