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