Chapter 82, 19 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ
Itha alssamao infatarat
And when the stars have fallen and scattered.
وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انتَثَرَتْ
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
And when the seas are burst forth.
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
And when the graves are turned upside down (and bring out their contents)
وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
(Then) a person will know what he has sent forward and (what he has) left behind (of good or bad deeds).
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
O man! What has made you careless about your Lord, the Most Generous?
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion.
الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
In whatever form He willed, He put you together.
فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
Nay! But you deny Ad-Din (i.e. the Day of Recompense).
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
But verily, over you (are appointed angels in charge of mankind) to watch you,
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
Kiraman (Honourable) Katibin writing down (your deeds),
كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ
Kiraman katibeena
They know all that you do.
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
Verily, the Abrar (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism) will be in Delight (Paradise);
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
And verily, the Fujjar (the wicked, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners and evil-doers) will be in the blazing Fire (Hell),
وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
Therein they will enter, and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
And they (Al-Fujjar) will not be absent therefrom.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
Again, what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is?
ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
(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.
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
