84. Al-Inshiqaaq سُورَةُ الانشِقَاقِ

Yusuf AliWhen the sky is rent asunder

Saheeh InternationalWhen the sky has split [open]

Yusuf AliAnd hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so)

Saheeh InternationalAnd has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

Yusuf AliAnd when the earth is flattened out

Saheeh InternationalAnd when the earth has been extended

Yusuf AliAnd casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty

Saheeh InternationalAnd has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

Yusuf AliAnd hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality)

Saheeh InternationalAnd has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

Yusuf AliO thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him

Saheeh InternationalO mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it

Yusuf AliThen he who is given his Record in his right hand

Saheeh InternationalThen as for he who is given his record in his right hand

Yusuf AliSoon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning

Saheeh InternationalHe will be judged with an easy account

Yusuf AliAnd he will turn to his people, rejoicing

Saheeh InternationalAnd return to his people in happiness

Yusuf AliBut he who is given his Record behind his back

Saheeh InternationalBut as for he who is given his record behind his back

Yusuf AliSoon will he cry for perdition

Saheeh InternationalHe will cry out for destruction

Yusuf AliAnd he will enter a Blazing Fire

Saheeh InternationalAnd [enter to] burn in a Blaze

Yusuf AliTruly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing

Saheeh InternationalIndeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness

Yusuf AliTruly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)

Saheeh InternationalIndeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah]

Yusuf AliNay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him

Saheeh InternationalBut yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing

Yusuf AliSo I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset

Saheeh InternationalSo I swear by the twilight glow

Yusuf AliThe Night and its Homing

Saheeh InternationalAnd [by] the night and what it envelops

Yusuf AliAnd the Moon in her fullness

Saheeh InternationalAnd [by] the moon when it becomes full

Yusuf AliYe shall surely travel from stage to stage

Saheeh International[That] you will surely experience state after state

Yusuf AliWhat then is the matter with them, that they believe not

Saheeh InternationalSo what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe

Yusuf AliAnd when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate

Saheeh InternationalAnd when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]

Yusuf AliBut on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it)

Saheeh InternationalBut those who have disbelieved deny

Yusuf AliBut God has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)

Saheeh InternationalAnd Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves

Yusuf AliSo announce to them a Penalty Grievous

Saheeh InternationalSo give them tidings of a painful punishment

Yusuf AliExcept to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail

Saheeh InternationalExcept for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted
