Chapter 82, 19 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
And when the stars have fallen and scattered.
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
And when the seas are burst forth.
وإذا البحار فجرت
And when the graves are turned upside down (and bring out their contents)
وإذا القبور بعثرت
(Then) a person will know what he has sent forward and (what he has) left behind (of good or bad deeds).
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
O man! What has made you careless about your Lord, the Most Generous?
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion.
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
In whatever form He willed, He put you together.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Nay! But you deny Ad-Din (i.e. the Day of Recompense).
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
But verily, over you (are appointed angels in charge of mankind) to watch you,
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Kiraman (Honourable) Katibin writing down (your deeds),
كراما كاتبين
They know all that you do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
Verily, the Abrar (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism) will be in Delight (Paradise);
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
And verily, the Fujjar (the wicked, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners and evil-doers) will be in the blazing Fire (Hell),
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
Therein they will enter, and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense,
يصلونها يوم الدين
And they (Al-Fujjar) will not be absent therefrom.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is?
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Again, what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is?
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
(It will be) the Day when no person shall have power (to do) anything for another, and the Decision, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah.
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
