الانفطار

1 When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,

1 When the sky breaks apart

1 Itha alssamao infatarat

2 And when the stars become dispersed,

2 And when the stars fall, scattering,

2 Waitha alkawakibu intatharat

3 And when the seas are made to flow forth,

3 And when the seas are erupted

3 Waitha albiharu fujjirat

4 And when the graves are laid open,

4 And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,

4 Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat

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

5 A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.

5 AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat

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

6 O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,

6 Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi

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

7 Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

7 Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka

8 Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.

8 In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

8 Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka

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

9 No! But you deny the Recompense.

9 Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni

10 And most surely there are keepers over you

10 And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,

10 Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena

11 Honorable recorders,

11 Noble and recording;

11 Kiraman katibeena

12 They know what you do.

12 They know whatever you do.

12 YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona

13 Most surely the righteous are in bliss,

13 Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

13 Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin

14 And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,

14 And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

14 Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin

15 They shall enter it on the day of judgment.

15 They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,

15 Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni

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

16 And never therefrom will they be absent.

16 Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena

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

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

17 Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni

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

18 Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

18 Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni

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 is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah.

19 Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
