When the sky has split [open]
اِذَا السَّمَآءُ انْشَقَّتْۙ
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
وَاَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْۙ
And when the earth has been extended
وَاِذَا الْاَرْضُ مُدَّتْۗ
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
وَاَلْقَتْ مَا فِيْهَا وَتَخَلَّتْۙ
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الْاِنْسَانُ اِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلٰقِيْهِۚ
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
فَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيْنِهٖۙ
He will be judged with an easy account
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَّسِيْرًا ۙ
And return to his people in happiness.
وَّيَنْقَلِبُ اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهٖ مَسْرُوْرًا ۗ
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
وَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهٖۙ
He will cry out for destruction
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوْا ثُبُوْرًا ۙ
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
وَّيَصْلٰى سَعِيْرًا ۗ
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فِىْۤ اَهْلِهٖ مَسْرُوْرًا ۗ
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah ].
اِنَّهٗ ظَنَّ اَنْ لَّنْ يَّحُوْرَۛ
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
بَلٰٓى ۛ اِنَّ رَبَّهٗ كَانَ بِهٖ بَصِيْرًا ۗ
So I swear by the twilight glow
فَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِۙ
And [by] the night and what it envelops
وَالَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَۙ
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
وَالْقَمَرِ اِذَا اتَّسَقَۙ
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍۗ
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَۙ
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah ]?
وَاِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْاٰنُ لَا يَسْجُدُوْنَ ۗ
But those who have disbelieved deny,
بَلِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا يُكَذِّبُوْنَۖ
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوْعُوْنَۖ
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍۙ
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُوْنٍ
