الانفطار

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,

1 When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder.

2 When the planets are dispersed,

2 And when the stars become dispersed,

2 And when the stars have fallen and scattered.

3 When the seas are poured forth,

3 And when the seas are made to flow forth,

3 And when the seas are burst forth.

4 And the sepulchres are overturned,

4 And when the graves are laid open,

4 And when the graves are turned upside down (and bring out their contents)

5 A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.

5 Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.

5 (Then) a person will know what he has sent forward and (what he has) left behind (of good or bad deeds).

6 O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,

6 O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,

6 O man! What has made you careless about your Lord, the Most Generous?

7 Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?

7 Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?

7 Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion.

8 Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.

8 Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.

8 In whatever form He willed, He put you together.

9 Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.

9 Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,

9 Nay! But you deny Ad-Din (i.e. the Day of Recompense).

10 Lo! there are above you guardians,

10 And most surely there are keepers over you

10 But verily, over you (are appointed angels in charge of mankind) to watch you,

11 Generous and recording,

11 Honorable recorders,

11 Kiraman (Honourable) Katibin writing down (your deeds),

12 Who know (all) that ye do.

12 They know what you do.

12 They know all that you do.

13 Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.

13 Most surely the righteous are in bliss,

13 Verily, the Abrar (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism) will be in Delight (Paradise);

14 And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;

14 And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,

14 And verily, the Fujjar (the wicked, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners and evil-doers) will be in the blazing Fire (Hell),

15 They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,

15 They shall enter it on the day of judgment.

15 Therein they will enter, and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense,

16 And will not be absent thence.

16 And they shall by no means be absent from it.

16 And they (Al-Fujjar) will not be absent therefrom.

17 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

17 And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?

17 And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is?

18 Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

18 Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?

18 Again, what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is?

19 A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.

19 The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.

19 (It will be) the Day when no person shall have power (to do) anything for another, and the Decision, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah.
