Chapter 82, 19 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
When the sky breaks apart
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
And when the stars become dispersed,
And when the stars fall, scattering,
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
وإذا البحار فجرت
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
And when the seas are erupted
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
وإذا القبور بعثرت
And when the graves are laid open,
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
No! But you deny the Recompense.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
وإن عليكم لحافظين
And most surely there are keepers over you
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
كراما كاتبين
Honorable recorders,
Noble and recording;
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ
يعلمون ما تفعلون
They know what you do.
They know whatever you do.
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ
يصلونها يوم الدين
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
وما هم عنها بغائبين
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
And never therefrom will they be absent.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.
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.
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
