SURAH AL-INSHIQAQ (THE BURSTING ASUNDER)
This surah has 25 verses and it was revealed in Mecca. The Holy Prophet (S) has said that the one who recites this surah will not get his book of deeds from his back on the Day of Reckoning.
If written and worn by a pregnant woman, the delivery of the baby becomes easy. However, it is important that after delivery, this surah should be kept away from her. If this surah is tied on any animal (eg. camels or horses) then it keeps them safe.
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
اِذَا السَّمَآءُ انْشَقَّتْۙ(1)
(1) When the heaven bursts asunder,
وَاَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْۙ(2)
(2) And obeys its Lord and it must.
وَاِذَا الْاَرْضُ مُدَّتْؕ(3)
(3) And when the earth is stretched,
وَاَلْقَتْ مَا فِيْهَا وَتَخَلَّتْۙ(4)
(4) And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
وَاَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْؕ(5)
(5) And obeys its Lord and it must.
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الْاِنْسَانُ اِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلٰقِيْهِۚ(6)
(6) O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
فَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيْنِهٖۙ(7)
(7) Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَّسِيْرًا ۙ(8)
(8) He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
وَّيَنْقَلِبُ اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهٖ مَسْرُوْرًا ؕ(9)
(9) And he shall go back to his people joyful.
وَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهٖۙ(10)
(10) And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوْا ثُبُوْرًا ۙ(11)
(11) He shall call for perdition,
وَّيَصْلٰى سَعِيْرًا ؕ(12)
(12) And enter into burning fire.
اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فِىْۤ اَهْلِهٖ مَسْرُوْرًا ؕ(13)
(13) Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
اِنَّهٗ ظَنَّ اَنْ لَّنْ يَّحُوْرَ ۛۚ(14)
(14) Surely he thought that he would never return.
بَلٰٓى ۛۚ اِنَّ رَبَّهٗ كَانَ بِهٖ بَصِيْرًا ؕ(15)
(15) Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
فَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِۙ(16)
(16) But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
وَالَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَۙ(17)
(17) And the night and that which it drives on,
وَالْقَمَرِ اِذَا اتَّسَقَۙ(18)
(18) And the moon when it grows full,
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍؕ(19)
(19) That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَۙ(20)
(20) But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
وَاِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْاٰنُ لَا يَسْجُدُوْنَ ؕ ۩(21)
(21) And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
بَلِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا يُكَذِّبُوْنَۖ(22)
(22) Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوْعُوْنَۖ(23)
(23) And Allah knows best what they hide,
فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍۙ(24)
(24) So announce to them a painful punishment~
اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُوْنٍ(25)
(25) Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
