| | Maulana Muhammad Ali rendition of Surah The Sundering, Splitting Open(al-Inshiqaq)
--- |
|---|
| 84:1 | | When the heaven bursts asunder |
| 84:2 | | And listens to its Lord and is made fit |
| 84:3 | | And when the earth is stretched |
| 84:4 | | And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty |
| 84:5 | | And listens to its Lord and is made fit |
| 84:6 | | O man, thou must strive a hard striving (to attain) to thy Lord, until thou meet Him |
| 84:7 | | Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand |
| 84:8 | | His account will be taken by an easy reckoning |
| 84:9 | | And he will go back to his people rejoicing |
| 84:10 | | And as to him who is given his book behind his back |
| 84:11 | | He will call for perdition |
| 84:12 | | And enter into burning Fire |
| 84:13 | | Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his people |
| 84:14 | | Surely he thought that he would never return (to Allah) - |
| 84:15 | | Yea, surely his Lord is ever Seer of him |
| 84:16 | | But nay, I call to witness the sunset redness |
| 84:17 | | And the night and that which it drives on |
| 84:18 | | And the moon when it grows full |
| 84:19 | | That you shall certainly ascend to one state after another |
| 84:20 | | But what is the matter with them that they believe not |
| 84:21 | | And, when the Qur’an is recited to thee, they adore (him) not |
| 84:22 | | Nay, those who disbelieve give the lie - |
| 84:23 | | And Allah knows best what they hide |
| 84:24 | | So announce to them a painful chastisement |
| 84:25 | | Except those who believe and do good -- for them is a reward that shall never be cut off |
