Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
When the sky breaks apart
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
And when the stars become dispersed,
And when the stars fall, scattering,
When the planets are dispersed,
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
And when the seas are erupted
When the seas are poured forth,
And when the graves are laid open,
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
And the sepulchres are overturned,
Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
No! But you deny the Recompense.
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
And most surely there are keepers over you
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
Lo! there are above you guardians,
Honorable recorders,
Noble and recording;
Generous and recording,
They know what you do.
They know whatever you do.
Who know (all) that ye do.
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
And never therefrom will they be absent.
And will not be absent thence.
And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.
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.
A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.
