Surah Al Inshiqaq

Quran Chapter 84

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1When the sky fractures.

2And obeys its Lord, as it must.

3And when the earth is expanded.

4And casts out whatever in it, and empties itself.

5And it obeys its Lord, as it should.

6O man, you are laboring towards your Lord, and you will surely encounter Him.

7As for the one who is given his record in his right hand.

8He will face an easy accounting.

9And will return to his family happily.

10But as for the one who is given his record behind his back.

11He will call for annihilation.

12And will be thrust into a roaring inferno.

13He was once joyful among his family.

14He thought he would never return.

15Yet, his Lord was watchful over him.

16So, I swear by the twilight’s glow.

17And by the night, and all it encloses.

18And by the moon, when it becomes full.

19You will ascend from stage to stage.

20So why, then, do they not believe?

21And when the Quran is read to them, they don’t prostrate?

22But those who disbelieve are in denial.

23And God certainly knows what they are hiding.

24So, give them the news of a severe punishment.

25But for those who believe and do righteous deeds, theirs is an unending reward.
