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

Shakir

1 When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,

Saheeh International

1 When the sky breaks apart

Pickthall

2 When the planets are dispersed,

Shakir

2 And when the stars become dispersed,

Saheeh International

2 And when the stars fall, scattering,

Pickthall

3 When the seas are poured forth,

Shakir

3 And when the seas are made to flow forth,

Saheeh International

3 And when the seas are erupted

Pickthall

4 And the sepulchres are overturned,

Shakir

4 And when the graves are laid open,

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

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

6 O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,

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

Pickthall

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

7 Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?

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

Pickthall

8 Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.

Shakir

8 Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.

Saheeh International

8 In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

Pickthall

9 Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.

Shakir

9 Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,

Saheeh International

9 No! But you deny the Recompense.

Pickthall

10 Lo! there are above you guardians,

Shakir

10 And most surely there are keepers over you

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

11 Generous and recording,

11 Honorable recorders,

Saheeh International

11 Noble and recording;

Pickthall

12 Who know (all) that ye do.

13 Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.

Shakir

13 Most surely the righteous are in bliss,

Saheeh International

13 Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

Pickthall

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

Shakir

14 And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,

Saheeh International

14 And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

Pickthall

15 They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,

Shakir

15 They shall enter it on the day of judgment.

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

16 And will not be absent thence.

Shakir

16 And they shall by no means be absent from it.

Saheeh International

16 And never therefrom will they be absent.

Pickthall

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

Shakir

17 And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?

Pickthall

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

Shakir

18 Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?

Saheeh International

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

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

Shakir

19 The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.

Saheeh International

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.
