IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah al-Inshiqaq - The Sundering, Splitting Open as rendered by
Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar
84:1
When the heaven was split open
84:2
and gave ear to its Lord as it will be justly disposed
to do
84:3
and when the earth stretches out
84:4
and cast what is in it and voided itself
84:5
and gave ear to its Lord as it will be justly disposed to do,
84:6
O human being! Truly, thou
art
one who is laboring towards thy Lord laboriously and thou
wilt be
one who encounters Him.
84:7
And as for him who will be given his book in his right hand,
84:8
then, he will be made a reckoning, an easy reckoning,
84:9
and will turn about to his people as one who is joyous.
84:10
But for whoever will be given his book behind his back,
84:11
he will call for damnation
84:12
and roast in a blaze.
84:13
He had been one who is joyous with his people.
84:14
Truly, he thought he would never retreat.
84:15
Yea! Truly, his Lord had been seeing him.
84:16
So no! I swear an oath by the twilight
84:17
and by the night and whatever it enveloped
84:18
and by the moon when it was full
84:19
that you will, truly, ride plane after plane.
84:20
Then, what
is
for them who believe not
84:21
when the Quran was recited to them, they prostrate not themselves?‡
84:22
Nay! Those who were ungrateful deny,
84:23
but God
is
greater in knowledge of what they amass.
84:24
So give them good tidings of a painful punishment.
84:25
But those who believed and did as the ones in accord with morality, for them is compensation, that which is unfailing.
