Itha alssamao infatarat
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
When the planets are dispersed,
And when the stars become dispersed,
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
When the seas are poured forth,
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
And the sepulchres are overturned,
And when the graves are laid open,

A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
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
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?

Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.

And most surely there are keepers over you
Kiraman katibeena
Generous and recording,
Honorable recorders,

And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.

And they shall by no means be absent from it.

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