When the sky has split [open]
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ 2
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
And when the earth has been extended
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ 4
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ 5
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ 6
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ 7
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا 8
He will be judged with an easy account
وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا 9
And return to his people in happiness.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ 10
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
He will cry out for destruction
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا 13
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ 14
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah ].
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا 15
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
So I swear by the twilight glow
And [by] the night and what it envelops
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ 19
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ 20
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ 21
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah ]?
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ 22
But those who have disbelieved deny,
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ 23
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ 24
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ 25
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
