Shakir

1 When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,

Pickthall

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,

Shakir

2 And when the stars become dispersed,

Pickthall

2 When the planets are dispersed,

Shakir

3 And when the seas are made to flow forth,

Pickthall

3 When the seas are poured forth,

Shakir

4 And when the graves are laid open,

Pickthall

4 And the sepulchres are overturned,

Shakir

5 Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.

Pickthall

5 A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.

Shakir

6 O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,

Pickthall

6 O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,

Shakir

7 Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?

Pickthall

7 Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?

Shakir

8 Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.

Pickthall

8 Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.

Shakir

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

Pickthall

9 Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.

Shakir

10 And most surely there are keepers over you

Pickthall

10 Lo! there are above you guardians,

Shakir

11 Honorable recorders,

Pickthall

11 Generous and recording,

Shakir

12 They know what you do.

Pickthall

12 Who know (all) that ye do.

Shakir

13 Most surely the righteous are in bliss,

Pickthall

13 Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.

Shakir

14 And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,

Pickthall

14 And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;

Shakir

15 They shall enter it on the day of judgment.

Pickthall

15 They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,

Shakir

16 And they shall by no means be absent from it.

Pickthall

16 And will not be absent thence.

Shakir

17 And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?

Pickthall

17 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

Shakir

18 Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?

Pickthall

18 Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

Shakir

19 The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.

Pickthall

19 A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.
