Chapter 82, 19 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
Itha alssamao infatarat
When the planets are dispersed,
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
When the seas are poured forth,
وإذا البحار فجرت
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
And the sepulchres are overturned,
وإذا القبور بعثرت
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
Lo! there are above you guardians,
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
Generous and recording,
كراما كاتبين
Kiraman katibeena
Who know (all) that ye do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
يصلونها يوم الدين
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
And will not be absent thence.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
