بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy

  1. إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ١

    When the sky is ripped apart

  2. وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ٢

    obeying its Lord as it rightly must

  3. وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ٣

    when the earth is levelled out

  4. وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ٤

    casts out its contents, and becomes empty

  5. وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ٥

    obeying its Lord as it rightly must

  6. يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ٦

    you humans, toiling laboriously towards your Lord, will meet Him

  7. فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ٧

    whoever is given his record in his right hand

  8. فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا٨

    will have an easy reckoning

  9. وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا٩

    and return to his people well pleased

  10. وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ١٠

    but whoever is given his record from behind his back

  11. فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا١١

    will cry out for destruction––

  12. وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا١٢

    he will burn in the blazing Fire

  13. إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا١٣

    He used to live among his people well pleased

  14. إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ١٤

    He thought he would never return [to his Lord]––

  15. بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا١٥

    indeed he will! His Lord was watching him

  16. فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ١٦

    I swear by the glow of sunset

  17. وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ١٧

    by the night and what it covers

  18. وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ١٨

    by the full moon

  19. لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ١٩

    you will progress from stage to stage

  20. فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ٢٠

    So why do they not believe

  21. وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩٢١

    Why, when the Quran is read to them, do they not prostrate themselves [to God]

  22. بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ٢٢

    No! The disbelievers reject the Quran––

  23. وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ٢٣

    God knows best what they keep hidden inside––

  24. فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ٢٤

    so give them news of a painful torment

  25. إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ٢٥

    But those who believe and do good deeds will have a never-ending reward
