Surah Al-Inshiqaaq word by word

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ

When the sky has split [open]

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

And when the earth has been extended

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًۭا فَمُلَـٰقِيهِ

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًۭا يَسِيرًۭا

He will be judged with an easy account

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًۭا

And return to his people in happiness.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ

But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًۭا

He will cry out for destruction

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].

بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًۭا

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ

So I swear by the twilight glow

وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

And [by] the night and what it envelops

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍۢ

[That] you will surely experience state after state.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩

And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ

But those who have disbelieved deny,

وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
