84. THE SPLITTING ASUNDER ( Al – Inshiqaq )
|
|
In
the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
|
|
1.
When the sky is split asunder,
|
|
2.
and responds to its Fosterer, a duty incumbent on it.
|
|
3.
And when the earth is stretched out,
|
|
4.
and casts forth that which is in it and becomes empty,
|
|
5.
and responds to its Fosterer, a duty incumbent on it.
|
|
6.
O man! you are certainly labouring towards your Fosterer, with a labour,
so you will meet Him.
|
|
7.
So as for him who is given his record (of deeds) in his right hand,
|
|
8.
he will be called to account, with an easy accountablity,
|
|
9.
and he will return happily to his class of people.
|
|
10.
And as for him who is given his record (of deeds) behind his back,
|
|
11.
he will call for (i.e. invoke) destruction (upon himself),
|
|
12.
and he will enter the (hot) blaze.
|
|
13.
He was certainly happy in his class of people (in the worldly life).
|
|
14.
He certainly thought that he would never return.
|
|
15.
Why not, his Fosterer was certainly seeing him.
|
|
16.
So I do swear by the redness of the sun-set,
|
|
17.
and the night and that which it gathers,
|
|
18.
and the moon when it is full.
|
|
19.
You will definitely be carried from stage to stage.
|
|
20.
So what is wrong with them that they do not believe?
|
|
21.
And when the Quran is, recited to them, they do not prostrate.
|
|
22.
No, those who do not believe, deny.
|
|
23.
And Allah knows best what they hide.
|
|
24.
So give them the news of the painful punishment,
|
|
25.
except those who believe and do righteous works, for them there
is an unfailing reward. ( R 1)
