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 [[Islamic eschatology|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).{{sfn|The Study Quran|p=1492}}{{sfn|The Study Quran|p=1493, commentary}}{{sfn|Al-Dargazelli|2013|p=80}}

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) follows, and then another contrast between the fate of the believers and the unbelievers in the day of judgment.{{sfn|The Study Quran|pp=1492–1493}}
