Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
Itha alssamao infatarat
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
And when the stars become dispersed,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And when the graves are laid open,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
And most surely there are keepers over you
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
Honorable recorders,
Kiraman katibeena
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ
They know what you do.
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
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 شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
