Chapter 82, 19 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
When the sky breaks apart
Itha alssamao infatarat
When the planets are dispersed,
And when the stars fall, scattering,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
When the seas are poured forth,
And when the seas are erupted
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
And the sepulchres are overturned,
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

Lo! there are above you guardians,
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
Generous and recording,
Noble and recording;
Kiraman katibeena
Who know (all) that ye do.
They know whatever you do.
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
And will not be absent thence.
And never therefrom will they be absent.
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is 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.
