إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
When the sky has split [open]

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And has listened [i.e., responded]1 to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
-
3
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And when the earth has been extended1

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And has cast out that within it1 and relinquished [it]

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] –

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَـٰقِيهِ
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion1 and will meet it.2

7
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
-
8
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
He will be judged with an easy account
-
9
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
And return to his people in happiness.
-
10
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
-
11
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
He will cry out for destruction
-
12
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
-
13
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
-
14
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allāh].
-
15
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever, of him, Seeing.

16
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
So I swear by the twilight glow

17
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And [by] the night and what it envelops
-
18
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
-
19
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
[That] you will surely embark upon [i.e., experience] state after state.1

20
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
-
21
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
And when the Qur’ān is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allāh]?
-
22
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
But those who have disbelieved deny,
-
23
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
And Allāh is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
-
24
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
-
25
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
