Chapter 82, 19 verses
Itha alssamao infatarat
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
And when the stars become dispersed,
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
وإذا البحار فجرت
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
And when the graves are laid open,
وإذا القبور بعثرت
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
And most surely there are keepers over you
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Kiraman katibeena
Honorable recorders,
كراما كاتبين
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
They know what you do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
يصلونها يوم الدين
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
