Asad, Surah 84: The Splitting Open (Al-Inshiqaaq)

Surahs

[1] WHEN THE SKY is split asunder,

[2] obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must;

[3] and when the earth is leveled,

[4] and casts forth whatever is in it, and becomes utterly void,

[5] obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must -:

[6] [then,] O man - thou [that] hast, verily, been toiling towards thy Sustainer in painful toil - then shalt thou meet Him!

[7] And as for him whose record shall be placed in his right hand,

[8] he will in time be called to account with an easy accounting,

[9] and will [be able to] turn joyfully to those of his own kind.

[10] But as for him whose record shall be given to him behind his back;

[11] he will in time pray for utter destruction:

[12] but he will enter the blazing flame.

[13] Behold, [in his earthly life] he lived joyfully among people of his own kind

[14] for, behold, he never thought that he would have to return [to God].

[15] Yea indeed! His Sustainer did see all that was in him!

[16] BUT NAY! I call to witness the sunset's [fleeting] afterglow,

[17] and the night, and what it [step by step] unfolds,

[18] and the moon, as it grows to its fullness:

[19] [even thus, O men,] are you bound to move; onward from stage to stage.

[20] What, then, is amiss with them that they will not believe [in a life to come]?

[21] and [that], when the Qur’an is read unto them, they do not fall down in prostration?

[22] Nay, but they who are bent on denying the truth give the lie [to this divine writ]!

[23] Yet God has full knowledge of what they conceal [in their hearts].

[24] Hence, give them the tiding of grievous suffering [in the life to come] –

[25] unless it be such [of them] as [repent, and] attain to faith, and do good works: for theirs shall be a reward unending!.
