Chapter 82, 19 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
Itha alssamao infatarat
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
When the sky breaks apart
When the planets are dispersed,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
And when the stars fall, scattering,
When the seas are poured forth,
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
وإذا البحار فجرت
And when the seas are erupted
And the sepulchres are overturned,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
وإذا القبور بعثرت
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
No! But you deny the Recompense.
Lo! there are above you guardians,
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
وإن عليكم لحافظين
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
Generous and recording,
Kiraman katibeena
كراما كاتبين
Noble and recording;
Who know (all) that ye do.
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
يعلمون ما تفعلون
They know whatever you do.
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
يصلونها يوم الدين
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
And will not be absent thence.
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
وما هم عنها بغائبين
And never therefrom will they be absent.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.
Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
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.
