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 planets are dispersed,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
When the seas are poured forth,
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
وإذا البحار فجرت
And the sepulchres are overturned,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
وإذا القبور بعثرت
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
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
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Lo! there are above you guardians,
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Generous and recording,
Kiraman katibeena
كراما كاتبين
Who know (all) that ye do.
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
يعلمون ما تفعلون
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
يصلونها يوم الدين
And will not be absent thence.
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
وما هم عنها بغائبين
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
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
