إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتۡ

2
وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ
and hearkens to its Lord[1], as it must,
Ayah :
3
وَإِذَا ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡ
and when the earth is leveled out[2],
Ayah :
4
وَأَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡ
and casts out all what it contains[3], and becomes empty,
Ayah :
5
وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ
and hearkens to its Lord, as it must,
Ayah :

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدۡحٗا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
O humans, you are toiling towards your Lord[4], and you will surely meet Him[5].

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
Whoever is given his Record in his right hand,
Ayah :
8
فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابٗا يَسِيرٗا
he will have an easy reckoning,
Ayah :
9
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورٗا
and he will return to his people joyfully.
Ayah :
10
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهِۦ
But whoever is given his Record from behind his back,
Ayah :
11
فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُواْ ثُبُورٗا
he will call out for destruction,
Ayah :
12
وَيَصۡلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
and he will enter the Blazing Fire.
Ayah :
13
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورًا
Indeed, he used to live among his people joyfully.
Ayah :
14
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
and he thought that he would never return [to Allah].
Ayah :
15
بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرٗا
Indeed he will! His Lord was always watching him.
Ayah :
16
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
Indeed, I swear by the twilight,
Ayah :
17
وَٱلَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
and by the night and what it covers,
Ayah :
18
وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
and by the moon when it becomes full,
Ayah :
19
لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٖ
You will surely pass from one stage to another[6].
Ayah :
20
فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ
Then what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
Ayah :
21
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ لَا يَسۡجُدُونَۤ۩
and when the Qur’an is recited to them, they do not prostrate?
Ayah :
22
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ
Rather, the disbelievers persist in denying it,
Ayah :
23
وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
but Allah knows best whatever they harbor in their hearts.
Ayah :
24
فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
So give them the tidings of a painful punishment.
Ayah :
25
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونِۭ
But those who believe and do righteous deeds will have a never-ending reward.
