﴿١﴾ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ
1When the sky is ruptured.
﴿٢﴾ وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
2And obeys its Lord, as it must.
﴿٣﴾ وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
3And when the earth is stretched.
﴿٤﴾ وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
4And ejects its contents and becomes empty.
﴿٥﴾ وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
5And obeys its Lord, as it must.
﴿٦﴾ يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
6O, man! You are laboring towards your Lord, and you will meet Him.
﴿٧﴾ فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
7As for him who is given his book in his right hand.
﴿٨﴾ فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
8He will be reckoned with an easy reckoning.
﴿٩﴾ وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
9And will return to his family delighted.
﴿١٠﴾ وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
10But as for him who is given his book behind his back.
﴿١١﴾ فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا
11He will call for destruction.
﴿١٢﴾ وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
12And will enter a Blaze.
﴿١٣﴾ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
13He used to be happy among his family.
﴿١٤﴾ إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ
14He thought he would not return.
﴿١٥﴾ بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا
15In fact, His Lord was watching him.
﴿١٦﴾ فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
16I swear by the twilight.
﴿١٧﴾ وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
17And by the night, and what it enshrouds.
﴿١٨﴾ وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
18And by the moon, when it is full.
﴿١٩﴾ لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ
19You will mount stage by stage.
﴿٢٠﴾ فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
20So what is the matter with them, that they do not believe?
﴿٢١﴾ وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
21And when the Quran is read to them, they do not bow down?
﴿٢٢﴾ بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ
22In fact, those who disbelieve are in denial.
﴿٢٣﴾ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
23But Allah knows what they hide inside.
﴿٢٤﴾ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
24So inform them of a painful punishment.
﴿٢٥﴾ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
25Except for those who believe and do good deeds—they will have a never-ending reward.
