| | T.B.Irving rendition of Surah The Sundering, Splitting Open(al-Inshiqaq)
--- |
|---|
| 84:1 | | When the sky will split open |
| 84:2 | | and listen to its Lord as it ought to, |
| 84:3 | | suddenly the earth will flatten out, |
| 84:4 | | and throw up whatever it contains, and fall back empty; |
| 84:5 | | and (also) listen to its Lord as it ought to! |
| 84:6 | | Everyman, you are toiling constantly for your Lord, and you will meet Him! |
| 84:7 | | Anyone who is given his book in his right hand |
| 84:8 | | will be called to account with an easy reckoning, |
| 84:9 | | and return joyfully to his family; |
| 84:10 | | while anyone who is given his book behind his back |
| 84:11 | | will appeal to be blotted out |
| 84:12 | | and will roast in the Blaze. |
| 84:13 | | He used to be happy with his own people; |
| 84:14 | | he supposed he would never revert [to God]. |
| 84:15 | | Nevertheless his Lord had still been Observing him! |
| 84:16 | | So I swear by the gloaming, |
| 84:17 | | and night and whatever it enshrouds, |
| 84:18 | | and the moon when it blossoms full, |
| 84:19 | | you shall ride along stage by stage. |
| 84:20 | | What is wrong with them that they do not believe? |
| 84:21 | | When the Quran is read to them, why do they not bow down on their knees? |
| 84:22 | | Instead, those who disbelieve keep on rejecting |
| 84:23 | | while God is quite Aware of how they are holding back. |
| 84:24 | | Give them news of painful torment, |
| 84:25 | | except for those who believe and perform honorable deeds; they will have payment which will never be withheld. |
