| | Maududi rendition of Surah The Sundering, Splitting Open(al-Inshiqaq)
--- |
|---|
| 84:1 | | When the sky is rent asunde |
| 84:2 | | and hearkens to the command of its Lord, doing what it should |
| 84:3 | | and when the earth is stretched ou |
| 84:4 | | and casts out what is within it and is emptied |
| 84:5 | | and hearkens to the command of its Lord, doing what it should |
| 84:6 | | O man, you are striving unto your Lord and you will meet Him |
| 84:7 | | Whoever is given the Record in his right han |
| 84:8 | | shall be called to an easy accounting |
| 84:9 | | and shall return to his people joyfully |
| 84:10 | | But he who is given the Record behind his back |
| 84:11 | | shall cry for "perdition," |
| 84:12 | | and will enter the Blazing Fire |
| 84:13 | | He used to live joyfully among his people |
| 84:14 | | thinking he would never revert (to Us) |
| 84:15 | | But no; (how would he not revert)? His Lord was ever watching him |
| 84:16 | | Nay; I swear by the twilight |
| 84:17 | | and by the night and what it enfolds |
| 84:18 | | and by the moon, when it reaches its fullness |
| 84:19 | | you shall proceed onwards from stage to stage |
| 84:20 | | So, what is the matter with them that they do not believe |
| 84:21 | | and when the Qur´an is recited to them, they do not prostrate themselves |
| 84:22 | | Instead, the unbelievers reject it, calling it a lie |
| 84:23 | | Allah knows best what they are accumulating (in their Record) |
| 84:24 | | So give them the good news of a painful chastisement |
| 84:25 | | except for those who believe and do good deeds. Theirs shall be an unending reward |
