The Sundering
84:1
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتۡ
When the sky bursts open,
...
84:2
وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ
obeying its Lord as it must,
...
84:3
وَإِذَا ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡ
and when the earth is flattened out,
...
84:4
وَأَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡ
and ejects ˹all˺ its contents and becomes empty,
...
84:5
وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡ
obeying its Lord as it must, ˹surely you will all be judged˺.
...
84:6
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدۡحٗا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
O humanity! Indeed, you are labouring restlessly towards your Lord, and will ˹eventually˺ meet the consequences.
...
84:7
فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
As for those who are given their record in their right hand,
...
84:8
فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابٗا يَسِيرٗا
they will have an easy reckoning,
...
84:9
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورٗا
and will return to their people joyfully.
...
84:10
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهِۦ
And as for those who are given their record ˹in their left hand˺ from behind their backs,
...
84:11
فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُواْ ثُبُورٗا
they will cry for ˹instant˺ destruction,
...
84:12
وَيَصۡلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
and will burn in the blazing Fire.
...
84:13
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورًا
For they used to be prideful among their people,
...
84:14
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
thinking they would never return ˹to Allah˺.
...
84:15
بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرٗا
Yes ˹they would˺! Surely their Lord has always been All-Seeing of them.
...
84:16
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
So, I do swear by the twilight!
...
84:17
وَٱلَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And by the night and whatever it envelops!
...
84:18
وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
And by the moon when it waxes full!
...
84:19
لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٖ
You will certainly pass from one state to another.
...
84:20
فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ
So what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
...
84:21
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ لَا يَسۡجُدُونَۤ۩
and when the Quran is recited to them, they do not bow down ˹in submission˺?
...
84:22
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ
In fact, the disbelievers persist in denial.
...
84:23
وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
But Allah knows best whatever they hide.
...
84:24
فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
So give them good news of a painful punishment.
...
84:25
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونِۭ
But those who believe and do good will have a never-ending reward.
