إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتۡ ١

When the sky has split [open]

84:2Page 589

وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ ٢

And has listened [i.e., responded]¹ to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

84:3Page 589

وَإِذَا ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡ ٣

And when the earth has been extended¹

84:4Page 589

وَأَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡ ٤

And has cast out that within it¹ and relinquished [it]

84:5Page 589

وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ ٥

And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] –

84:6Page 589

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدۡحٗا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ ٦

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion¹ and will meet it.²

84:7Page 589

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ ٧

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

84:8Page 589

فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابٗا يَسِيرٗا ٨

He will be judged with an easy account

84:9Page 589

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورٗا ٩

And return to his people in happiness.

84:10Page 589

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهِۦ ١٠

But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

84:11Page 589

فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُواْ ثُبُورٗا ١١

He will cry out for destruction

84:12Page 589

وَيَصۡلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ١٢

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

84:13Page 589

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورًا ١٣

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

84:14Page 589

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ ١٤

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allāh].

84:15Page 589

بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرٗا ١٥

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever, of him, Seeing.

84:16Page 589

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ ١٦

So I swear by the twilight glow

84:17Page 589

وَٱلَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ١٧

And [by] the night and what it envelops

84:18Page 589

وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ ١٨

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

84:19Page 589

لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٖ ١٩

[That] you will surely embark upon [i.e., experience] state after state.¹

84:20Page 589

فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٢٠

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

84:21Page 589

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ لَا يَسۡجُدُونَۤ۩ ٢١

And when the Qur’ān is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allāh]?

84:22Page 589

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٢

But those who have disbelieved deny,

84:23Page 589

وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ٢٣

And Allāh is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

84:24Page 589

فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٢٤

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

84:25Page 589

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونِۭ ٢٥

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