When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
Itha alssamao infatarat
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ
When the sky breaks apart
Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
Itha alssamao infatarat
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ
When the sky breaks apart
And when the stars become dispersed,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انتَثَرَتْ
And when the stars fall, scattering,
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And when the seas are erupted
And when the graves are laid open,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ
No! But you deny the Recompense.
And most surely there are keepers over you
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
Honorable recorders,
Kiraman katibeena
كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ
Noble and recording;
They know what you do.
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
They know whatever you do.
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ
And never therefrom will they be absent.
And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
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
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
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.
