Itha alssamao infatarat
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
When the sky breaks apart
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
And when the stars fall, scattering,
And when the stars become dispersed,
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
وإذا البحار فجرت
And when the seas are erupted
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
وإذا القبور بعثرت

And when the graves are laid open,

علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت

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

O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك

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

Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.

And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
And most surely there are keepers over you

They know what you do.

They shall enter it on the day of judgment.

Again, what will make you realize 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.
