سورة الإنشقاق
The Splitting Open
Al-Inshiqaaq | Sura # 84 | 25 verses | Makkan
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful
إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ١
84:1 When the sky splits apart,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ٢
84:2 obeying its Lord as it must,
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ٣
84:3 and when the earth is flattened out,
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ٤
84:4 and cast out all that is within it and becomes empty,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ٥
84:5 obeying its Lord as it must.
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ٦
84:6 O' mankind! Indeed, you are steadily advancing towards your Lord. You shall meet Him!
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ٧
84:7 As for those who are given their record in their right hand (on the Day of Judgment),
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا٨
84:8 they will have an easy reckoning,
وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا٩
84:9 and will return to their people joyfully.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ١٠
84:10 But those who will be given their record (of deeds) from behind their back (in their left hand),
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا١١
84:11 shall be calling for death,
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا١٢
84:12 and (they will) burn in a blazing fire;
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا١٣
84:13 for they used to be prideful among their people,
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ١٤
84:14 and thought that they would never come back (to Us for accountability)!
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا١٥
84:15 Yes! indeed, their Lord was watching (over their misdeeds)!
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ١٦
84:16 So I swear by the glow of sunset;
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ١٧
84:17 and the night, and everything it enshrouds,
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ١٨
84:18 and the moon, when it is full,
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ١٩
84:19 You would definitely move along, from one stage to another.
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ٢٠
84:20 What is the problem with them? Why don´t they believe?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩٢١
84:21 When the Quran is recited before them, why don't they fall prostrate?
The above is the 'verse of Sajda' (آیت سجدہ). If someone is reading it alone, should do prostration (سجدة) alone. If it is read loudly in an audience, the reciter and all the listeners should do 'Prostration of Recitation' (Sajda-e-Tilaawah - سجدة التلاوة) individually.
The Prostration can be done in sitting or standing position. In the Hanafi school of thought, 'Prostration of Recitation' (Sajda-e-Tilaawah - سجدة التلاوة) is obligatory (Fardh). With Shafii and Maliki, it is Sunnah.
It is in Hadith - 'When you have recited a verse requiring Sajdah-e-Tilaawaah, you should go down for Sajdah with Allahu-Akbar and rise from Sajdah with Allahu-Akbar, which may be performed sitting, though it is preferable to prostrate oneself from the standing position. (Abu Dawood)
Have the intention to do Prostration of recitation (سجدة التلاوة). The place where you are reading/reciting Quran should be clean. Turn towards Qibla, say (quietly) Allahu Akbar, go into prostration once, recite the 'Tasbih of Sajdah' 'Subhana Rabbi al-A'alaa' (سبحان ربّي الاعلى ) at least 3 times and raise from the Sajda saying Allahu Akbar.
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ٢٢
84:22 In fact, the disbelievers persist in denial.
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ٢٣
84:23 And Allah knows best what they are hiding (in their hearts).
فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ٢٤
84:24 So give them the news of a painful torment,
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ٢٥
84:25 except those who believe and do good deeds; for them there will be a never ending reward (Paradise).
