Surah 084

Al-Inshiqāq

الانشقاق

25 verses · Meccan

Key structural observations
  • The split sky and stretched earth, emptied of what it contains, answer the Lord (1–5). The same sentence of heeding frames both scenes before the call to the human being (6).
  • Human toil is directed towards the Lord and the encounter (6). The two records lead to an easy account and joyful return, or the cry for destruction and the Blaze (7–12).
  • Past joy among one’s own is followed by the belief that there will be no return (13–14). Balā answers and recalls the Lord’s already present gaze (15).
  • Twilight, gathering night and full moon prepare assured passage from one state to another (16–19). Gathering and fullness accompany images of change.
  • Faith, prostration, denial and inward contents cross human responses (20–23). Painful tidings are followed by the exception of believers doing good, with an unending reward (24–25).

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ

2

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

3

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

4

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

5

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

6

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

7

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

8

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

9

وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

10

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

11

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

12

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

13

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

14

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ

15

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

16

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

17

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

18

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

19

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ

20

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

21

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩

22

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

23

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

24

فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

25

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
