Chapter 82, 19 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
When the sky breaks apart
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
When the planets are dispersed,
And when the stars fall, scattering,
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
When the seas are poured forth,
And when the seas are erupted
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And the sepulchres are overturned,
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.
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 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, proportioned you, and balanced you?
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
No! But you deny the Recompense.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
Lo! there are above you guardians,
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
Generous and recording,
Noble and recording;
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ
Who know (all) that ye do.
They know whatever you do.
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ
They will burn therein 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 never therefrom will they be absent.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
Ah, what will convey unto thee 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!
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.
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
