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,
When the sky breaks apart
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
When the planets are dispersed,
And when the stars become dispersed,
And when the stars fall, scattering,
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
When the seas are poured forth,
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
And when the seas are erupted
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And the sepulchres are overturned,
And when the graves are laid open,
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
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.
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
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,
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
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?
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
No! But you deny the Recompense.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
Lo! there are above you guardians,
And most surely there are keepers over you
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
Generous and recording,
Honorable recorders,
Noble and recording;
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ
Who know (all) that ye do.
They know what you do.
They know whatever you do.
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
And will not be absent thence.
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
And never therefrom will they be absent.
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?
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
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?
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
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.
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.
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
