Chapter 82, 19 verses
Itha alssamao infatarat
When the sky breaks apart
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
And when the stars fall, scattering,
When the planets are dispersed,
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
And when the seas are erupted
When the seas are poured forth,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
And the sepulchres are overturned,
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
No! But you deny the Recompense.
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
Lo! there are above you guardians,
Kiraman katibeena
Noble and recording;
Generous and recording,
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
They know whatever you do.
Who know (all) that ye do.
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
And never therefrom will they be absent.
And will not be absent thence.
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
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.
A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.
