Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn . The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray .

Number of Verses: 25

Sura al-Inshiqāq (Arabic: سورة الإنشقاق, the splitting) is the eighty forth sura of the quran. It is a makki surah in the thirtieth juz of the Qur'an. "Inshiqaq" means "splitting" and this sura has been named so, because at the beginning of which, it is mentioned that the sky will split open on the day of judgement. Sura al-Inshiqaq is about the signs of the Day of Judgement , the end of the world and the hereafter.

For verse twenty first of the Sura al-Inshiqaq, prostration is recommended. About the merits of the recitation of this sura, it is narrated from the prophet (s) that anyone who recites this chapter, God will save him from giving his records to him from behind on the Day of Judgement .

This Surah, like many other Surahs of the last part of the holy Qur'an, talks about the Resurrection. First, there are some references to the awful events of the time when this world ends and the New World begins.

Then, it speaks about the resurrection and The Reckoning of the good-doers and evildoers and their ultimate end. Further, it refers to the deeds and beliefs of the disbelievers which bring about Allah's punishment on them. And then, after some oaths, it touches on the different stages man goes through during and after his life. Finally, it returns to speaking about the good and evil actions of man and his rewards or punishments on That Day.

There is a tradition from the Prophet (S) which says:

"He who studies Surah Inshiqaq Allah will make him safe from being given his Record from behind his back (on the reckoning Day)".

There is a narration from Imam Sadiq, written in the book 'Thawab-al-A'mal', which says:

"He who recites those two Surahs: Infitar and Inshiqaq, and considers them present before his eyes in his obligatory and optional prayers, nothing will separate him from Allah. He will be in he continuous presence of Allah and Allah will be looking over him until all of the accounts he has with others are settled."
