IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah al-Inshiqaq - The Sundering, Splitting Open as rendered by
N J Dawood (2014)
84:1
WHEN THE sky is rent apart
84:2
obeying her Lord in true submission
84:3
when the earth expand
84:4
and casts out all that is within her and becomes empty
84:5
obeying her Lord in true submission; then
84:6
O man, who labour constantly to meet your Lord, shall you meet Him
84:7
He that is given his book in his right han
84:8
shall have a lenient reckoning
84:9
and shall go back rejoicing to his people
84:10
But he that is given his book behind his bac
84:11
shall call down destruction on himsel
84:12
and burn in the Conflagration
84:13
for he lived rejoicing among his peopl
84:14
and thought he would never turn back
84:15
Yes; but his Lord was ever watching him
84:16
I swear by the glow of sunset
84:17
by the night, and all that it envelops
84:18
by the moon, in her full perfection
84:19
that you shall march onwards from stage to stage
84:20
Why then do they not believe
84:21
or kneel down in prayer when the Koran is read to them
84:22
The unbelievers indeed are in denial
84:23
but God knows best the falsehoods they believe in
84:24
Therefore proclaim to them a woeful scourge
84:25
save those who believe and do good works; for theirs is an unfailing recompense
