Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
Itha alssamao infatarat
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
When the Sky is cleft asunder;
And when the stars become dispersed,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
When the Stars are scattered;
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
وإذا البحار فجرت
When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
And when the graves are laid open,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
وإذا القبور بعثرت
And when the Graves are turned upside down; -
Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت

Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi

Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك

Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.

Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,

وإن عليكم لحافظين

The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.
Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
(It will be) the Day when no soul shall have power (to do) aught for another: For the command, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah.
