IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah al-Inshiqaq - The Sundering, Splitting Open as rendered by
Aisha Bewley
84:1
When the sky bursts open,
84:2
hearkening to its Lord as it is bound to do!
84:3
When the earth is flattened out
84:4
and disgorges what is inside it and empties out,
84:5
hearkening to its Lord as it is bound to do!
84:6
O Man! You are toiling laboriously towards your Lord but meet Him you will!
84:7
As for him who is given his Book in his right hand,
84:8
he will be given an easy reckoning
84:9
and return to his family joyfully.
84:10
But as for him who is given his Book behind his back,
84:11
he will cry out for destruction
84:12
but will be roasted in a Searing Blaze.
84:13
He used to be joyful in his family.
84:14
He thought that he was never going to return.
84:15
But in fact his Lord was always watching him!
84:16
No, I swear by the evening glow,
84:17
and the night and all it shrouds,
84:18
and the moon when it is full,
84:19
you will mount up stage by stage!
84:20
What is the matter with them that they have no iman
84:21
and, when the Qur´an is recited to them, do not prostrate?
84:22
In fact those who are kafir say that it is lies.
84:23
But Allah knows best what they are storing in their hearts.
84:24
Give them the news of a painful punishment
84:25
except those who have iman and do right actions: they will have a wage which never fails.
