| This Surah (Revealed) Meccan, consisting of 23 or 25 verses.(Al-Inshiqâq)
|
| بِسْم ِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ | |
|
Tafseer
735 When the heaven is rent asunder,
|
|
Tafseer
and heeds, gives ear to and, in rending itself asunder, obeys, its Lord as it
should, that is, as its duty is to heed and obey,
|
|
Tafseer
and when the earth is stretched out, [when] its width is increased, just as a
piece of leather is stretched, so that no edifice or mountain remains upon it,
|
|
Tafseer
and casts out all that is in it, of the dead, onto its surface, and empties
itself, thereof,
|
|
Tafseer
and heeds, [and] in this respect, gives ear to and obeys, its Lord, as it
should: all of this will be on the Day of Resurrection (the response to idhā, âwhenâ, and [to] all that is supplemented
thereto, has been omitted; but it is indicated by what follows it, and is implied to be [something like]
laqiyaâl-insānu âamalahu, âman will encounter his deedsâ).
|
|
Tafseer
O man! Verily you are labouring, exerting your efforts, toward, the encounter
with, your Lord, that is, death, laboriously, and you will encounter it, that is, you will encounter your
mentioned good or evil deeds on the Day of Resurrection.
|
|
Tafseer
Then as for him who is given his book, the record of his deeds, in his right
hand â and this is the believer â
|
|
Tafseer
he will receive an easy reckoning, which [simply] entails the presentation of
his deeds to him, as in the hadīth of the two Sahīhs [of Bukhārī and Muslim] â in which there is also [a
hadīth saying], âHe who is reckoned with at length, will be destined for perditionâ â and after this
presentation [of his deeds to the believer] he will be excused,
|
|
Tafseer
and return to his family, in Paradise, joyful, because of it.
|
|
Tafseer
But as for him who is given his book from behind his back â and this is the
disbeliever, whose right hand is chained to his neck and whose left hand, by which he is given the book, is
placed behind his back,
|
|
Tafseer
he will pray, upon seeing what is in it, for annihilation, he will invoke
destruction against himself by saying: yā thabūrāh, âO annihilation [of mine]!â,
|
|
Tafseer
736 and he will enter the Blaze, an intense fire (a variant reading [for yaslā, âhe
will enterâ] has yusallā, âhe will be admittedâ).
|
|
Tafseer
Indeed among his folk, his clan, in the world, he used to be joyful, wanton,
lusting after his desires;
|
|
Tafseer
indeed he thought that (an: softened in place of the hardened form, with its
subject omitted, that is to say, annahu) he would never return, to his Lord.
|
|
Tafseer
Nay!, he will return to Him; indeed his Lord is ever Seer of him, knowing that
he would return to Him.
|
|
Tafseer
So I swear (fa-lā: lā is extra) by the twilight (al-shafaq), the reddishness
visible in the horizon after the sunset,
|
|
Tafseer
and [by] the night and what it envelops, [what] it brings together of creatures
and otherwise that have entered into it,
|
|
Tafseer
and [by] the moon when it is at the full, and its light is complete, and this
happens during the nights of the full moon:
|
|
Tafseer
you will surely journey (tarkabunna is actually tarkabūnanna, but the nūn of the
indicative has been omitted because of two identical letters following one another, and the wāw [is omitted]
because of two unvocalised consonants coming together), from stage to stage, state after state, namely,
death, then life, then what comes afterwards of the states at the Resurrection.
|
|
Tafseer
So what is wrong with them, that is, the disbelievers, that they do not have
faith, that is to say, what is there to prevent them from [embracing] faith; or what argument do they have for
neglecting it despite the existence of proofs for it,
|
|
Tafseer
and, what is wrong with them, that when the Qurâān is recited to them they do
not prostrate?, they [do not] submit by believing in it, given its inimitability?
|
|
Tafseer
Nay, but the disbelievers deny, resurrection and other matters,
|
|
Tafseer
and God knows best what they are amassing, accumulating in their scrolls, in the
way of disbelief, denial 737 and evil deeds.
|
|
Tafseer
So give them good tidings, inform them, of a painful chastisement,
|
|
Tafseer
except those who believe and perform righteous deeds: theirs will be an
unfailing reward, one that is unending, undiminished and not given to them in expectance of anything in
return.
