Holy Quran Verses from Yusufali's Translation

Surah 'Inshiqaaq: The Sundering

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

084.001	When the sky is rent asunder,
084.002	And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);-
084.003	And when the earth is flattened out,
084.004	And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
084.005	And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality).
084.006	O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.
084.007	Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
084.008	Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
084.009	And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
084.010	But he who is given his Record behind his back,-
084.011	Soon will he cry for perdition,
084.012	And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
084.013	Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
084.014	Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
084.015	Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
084.016	So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
084.017	The Night and its Homing;
084.018	And the Moon in her fullness:
084.019	Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
084.020	What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-
084.021	And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
084.022	But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
084.023	But God has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
084.024	So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
084.025	Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.

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.
