Chapter 84: The Rupture al-Inshiqaq

Table of Contents

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful

When the sky is ruptured
And hearkens to its Lord, as it must
And when the earth is leveled out
And casts out what is in it, and becomes empty
And hearkens to its Lord, as it must

O man!
You are laboring towards your Lord, and you will meet Him

As for him who is given his book in his right hand
He will have an easy settlement
And will return to his family delighted

But as for him who is given his book behind his back
He will call for death
And will enter the Blaze
He used to be happy among his family
He thought he would never return
In fact, his Lord was watching him

I swear by the twilight
And by the night, and what it covers
And by the moon, as it grows full
You will mount stage by stage

What is the matter with them that they do not believe?
And when the Quran is read to them, they do not bow down?
In fact, those who disbelieve are in denial
But God knows what they hide inside
So inform them of a painful punishment

Except those who believe and do good deeds; they will have an undiminished reward
