Recitation Of Surah Al-Inshiqaq With Arabic Text | سورۃ الانشقاق The name of the chapter, Al-Inshiqaq, is a noun variously translated as "The Sundering", "The Bursting Asunder", "The Splitting Open", among others. This name comes from the first verse of the chapter which reads When the sky is rent asunder. The verse does not contain the word al-inshiqaq verbatim, but rather it contains a word of the same root. It is a reference to the destruction of the world at the end of days, which the chapter portend. Thematically, the chapter follows a day-of-judgement theme that is present in the preceding chapters, including Al-Infitar (the 82nd chapter) and Al-Mutaffifin (83rd).[4][5][6] The chapter begins (verses 1 to 5) by mentioning events that will happen on the Day of Judgment, including the sundering of the sky and the flattening of all that is on earth. Verses 6 to 15 talk about the disparity between those who in that day will be "given [their] book in [their] right hand" and have a joyful reckoning, and those who will not. A series of oaths (verses 16—18) followed, and then another contrast between the fate of the believers and the unbelievers in the day of judgment. Where was Surah Inshiqaq revealed? SURAH INSHIQAQ BRIEF COMMENTARY & BACKGROUND This Surah was revealed in Mecca most probably during the early days of Muhammad's proclamation of his Prophethood. Meaning: When the sky is rent asunder, And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); And when the earth is flattened out, And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty, And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality). O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him. Then he who is given his Record in his right hand, Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning, And he will turn to his people, rejoicing! But he who is given his Record behind his back, Soon will he cry for perdition, And he will enter a Blazing Fire. Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing! Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)! Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him! So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset; The Night and its Homing; And the Moon in her fullness: Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage. What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate, But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it). But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts) So announce to them a Penalty Grievous, Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
