Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
Itha alssamao infatarat
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
And when the stars become dispersed,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
وإذا البحار فجرت
And when the graves are laid open,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
وإذا القبور بعثرت
Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
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.
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
And most surely there are keepers over you
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Honorable recorders,
Kiraman katibeena
كراما كاتبين
They know what you do.
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
يعلمون ما تفعلون
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
يصلونها يوم الدين
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
وما هم عنها بغائبين
And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
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
