Chapter 82, 19 verses
Itha alssamao infatarat
When the Sky is cleft asunder;
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
When the Stars are scattered;
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
وإذا البحار فجرت
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
And when the Graves are turned upside down; -
وإذا القبور بعثرت
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
(Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent? -
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you, -
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Kiraman katibeena
Kind and honourable, - Writing down (your deeds):
كراما كاتبين
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
They know (and understand) all that ye do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,
يصلونها يوم الدين
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
(It will be) the Day when no soul shall have power (to do) aught for another: For the command, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah.
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
