Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
When the sky breaks apart
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
And when the stars become dispersed,
And when the stars fall, scattering,
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
And when the seas are erupted
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And when the graves are laid open,
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
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.
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
No! But you deny the Recompense.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
And most surely there are keepers over you
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
Honorable recorders,
Noble and recording;
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ
They know what you do.
They know whatever you do.
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
And never therefrom will they be absent.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
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.
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.
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
