| | Dr. Kamal Omar rendition of Surah The Sundering, Splitting Open(al-Inshiqaq)
--- |
|---|
| 84:1 | | When the heaven developed cracks |
| 84:2 | | And it gave ear (i.e., listened) to its Nourisher-Sustainer, and (thus) it was proved true (to Allah’s Command) |
| 84:3 | | And when the earth was expanded enough |
| 84:4 | | and it cast out what (had been) therein, and became empty |
| 84:5 | | And it gave ear to its Nourisher-Sustainer, and (thus) it was proved true |
| 84:6 | | O you the human being! Surely, you are (the) one striving towards your Nourisher-Sustainer — a hard effort, then (you are the one) who must meet Him |
| 84:7 | | Then as for him who is given his record from his right (side) |
| 84:8 | | then soon he is put to Accountability — a very easy reckoning |
| 84:9 | | And he returns to his followers in joy |
| 84:10 | | And as for him who is given his record from behind his back |
| 84:11 | | so soon he will seek destruction (so that he may become destroyed rather than stay in a lasting punishment) |
| 84:12 | | And he shall enter the blazing Fire |
| 84:13 | | Verily, he was among his family fully involved in joy and amusement |
| 84:14 | | Verily, he thought that he will never return (to Allah) |
| 84:15 | | Yes! Verily, his Nourisher-Sustainer remained a Strict Watch over him (throughout his worldly span of life) |
| 84:16 | | So beware! I bring to witness the heaven in evening twilight |
| 84:17 | | and (I bring to witness) the night and whatever it enveloped and hid |
| 84:18 | | and (I bring to witness) the moon when it became fully felt and known (i.e., it revealed its secrets to man) |
| 84:19 | | Without doubt you would surely embark (for journey) from one field to another field (of influence of a heavenly body) |
| 84:20 | | So what (is the matter) with them that they Believe not |
| 84:21 | | And when is recited unto them Al-Quran they do not submit |
| 84:22 | | Nay, (on the contrary) those who have disbelieved, they belie (the contents of the Book) |
| 84:23 | | And Allah knows better what they amass |
| 84:24 | | So announce to them ‘the good news’ about a painful torment — |
| 84:25 | | save those who have Believed and performed righteous deeds — for them is a reward, not stopped or interrupted |
