Chapter 82, 19 verses
Itha alssamao infatarat
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
When the planets are dispersed,
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
When the seas are poured forth,
وإذا البحار فجرت
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
And the sepulchres are overturned,
وإذا القبور بعثرت
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
Lo! there are above you guardians,
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Kiraman katibeena
Generous and recording,
كراما كاتبين
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
Who know (all) that ye do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
يصلونها يوم الدين
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
And will not be absent thence.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
