الانفطار

1 When the sky breaks apart

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

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

2 And when the stars fall, scattering,

2 And when the stars have fallen and scattered.

2 When the planets are dispersed,

3 And when the seas are erupted

3 And when the seas are burst forth.

3 When the seas are poured forth,

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

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

4 And the sepulchres are overturned,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

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

8 Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.

9 No! But you deny the Recompense.

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

9 Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.

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

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

10 Lo! there are above you guardians,

11 Noble and recording;

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

11 Generous and recording,

12 They know whatever you do.

12 They know all that you do.

12 Who know (all) that ye do.

13 Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

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

13 Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.

14 And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

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

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

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

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

15 They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,

16 And never therefrom will they be absent.

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

16 And will not be absent thence.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 (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.

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