Holy Quran Verses from Pickthall's Translation

Surah 'Inshiqaaq: The Sundering

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

084.001	When the heaven is split asunder
084.002	And attentive to her Lord in fear,
084.003	And when the earth is spread out
084.004	And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
084.005	And attentive to her Lord in fear!
084.006	Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
084.007	Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
084.008	He truly will receive an easy reckoning
084.009	And will return unto his folk in joy.
084.010	But whoso is given his account behind his back,
084.011	He surely will invoke destruction
084.012	And be thrown to scorching fire.
084.013	He verily lived joyous with his folk,
084.014	He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
084.015	Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
084.016	Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
084.017	And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
084.018	And by the moon when she is at the full,
084.019	That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
084.020	What aileth them, then, that they believe not
084.021	And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)?
084.022	Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
084.023	And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
084.024	So give them tidings of a painful doom,
084.025	Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.

Let us pray (Sura 20, Ayat 114) 'Ya Rabbi Zidni Ilma!' ('O Lord! Increase me in knowledge.') and seek spiritual help (ta'yid) to understand our great faith.
