Chapter 82, 19 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
Itha alssamao infatarat
When the sky breaks apart
When the planets are dispersed,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
And when the stars fall, scattering,
When the seas are poured forth,
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
And when the seas are erupted
And the sepulchres are overturned,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
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
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
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni

Lo! there are above you guardians,
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
Generous and recording,
Kiraman katibeena
Noble and recording;
Who know (all) that ye do.
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
They know whatever you do.
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;

They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
And will not be absent thence.

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
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
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
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.
