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
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
When the planets are dispersed,
And when the stars become dispersed,
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
When the seas are poured forth,
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
وإذا البحار فجرت
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And the sepulchres are overturned,
And when the graves are laid open,
وإذا القبور بعثرت
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
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
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
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
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
Lo! there are above you guardians,
And most surely there are keepers over you
وإن عليكم لحافظين
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
Generous and recording,
Honorable recorders,
كراما كاتبين
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ
Who know (all) that ye do.
They know what you do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
يصلونها يوم الدين
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
And will not be absent thence.
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
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
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
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
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
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
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
