| | Ahmed Ali rendition of Surah The Sundering, Splitting Open(al-Inshiqaq)
--- |
|---|
| 84:1 | | WHEN THE SKY is cleft asunder |
| 84:2 | | And hearkens to its Lord and is dutiful |
| 84:3 | | When the earth is stretched out tau |
| 84:4 | | And throws out whatever it contains and is empty |
| 84:5 | | And hearkens to its Lord and is dutiful |
| 84:6 | | O man, you have to strive and go on striving towards your Lord, then will you meet Him |
| 84:7 | | And he who is given his ledger in his right han |
| 84:8 | | Will have an easy reckoning |
| 84:9 | | And will return to his people full of joy |
| 84:10 | | But he who is given his ledger from behind his bac |
| 84:11 | | Will pray for death |
| 84:12 | | But will be roasted in the fire |
| 84:13 | | He lived rejoicing among his people |
| 84:14 | | Never thinking he will return |
| 84:15 | | Why not? His Lord was always watching him |
| 84:16 | | So indeed I call to witness the evening twilight |
| 84:17 | | And the night and all it gathers |
| 84:18 | | And the moon when at the full |
| 84:19 | | That you will climb from stage to stage |
| 84:20 | | So, wherefore do they not believe |
| 84:21 | | And when the Qur'an is recited to them do not bow in adoration |
| 84:22 | | In fact the unbelievers disavow |
| 84:23 | | But God knows what they harbour in their breasts |
| 84:24 | | So give them news of painful punishment |
| 84:25 | | Except those who believe and do the right: For them there is reward unending |
