| | Dr. Munir Munshey rendition of Surah The Sundering, Splitting Open(al-Inshiqaq)
--- |
|---|
| 84:1 | | When the sky splits apart |
| 84:2 | | And heeds its Lord´s command, as it truly must |
| 84:3 | | When the earth distends |
| 84:4 | | Casts off its contents, and becomes bare and blank |
| 84:5 | | It will heed its Lord´s command, as it truly must |
| 84:6 | | Oh man! Indeed, you are steadily advancing towards your Lord. You shall meet Him |
| 84:7 | | Then, the one who is given his record (of deeds) in his right (hand) |
| 84:8 | | Will truly face a light (and lenient) reckoning |
| 84:9 | | And will happily return to his folks |
| 84:10 | | But the one who is given his record of deed behind his back |
| 84:11 | | Will call for (his own) death |
| 84:12 | | But will roast in the fiery blaze |
| 84:13 | | (In his life), he had been happy (and contented) among his kin |
| 84:14 | | And (spuriously) assumed that he would never have to come back (to his Lord) |
| 84:15 | | Why not? His Lord was (always) watching all his deeds |
| 84:16 | | No! Really, I swear by the sunset glow |
| 84:17 | | And the night, and everything it enshrouds |
| 84:18 | | And the moon when it is full |
| 84:19 | | You would definitely move along, from one stage to another |
| 84:20 | | What is with them? Why don´t they believe |
| 84:21 | | When the Qur´an is recited before them, why do they not fall prostrate |
| 84:22 | | Instead, the unbelievers refuse to accept |
| 84:23 | | Indeed, Allah (alone) knows what (kind of) deeds they collect |
| 84:24 | | So give them the news of a painful punishment |
| 84:25 | | (Which will strike all), except those who believe and perform righteous deeds. For them, there exists an unrestricted, ever-lasting reward |
