Chapter 82, 19 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انتَثَرَتْ
When the planets are dispersed,
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
When the seas are poured forth,
وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
And the sepulchres are overturned,
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ
O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,
الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ
Lo! there are above you guardians,
كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ
Generous and recording,
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Who know (all) that ye do.
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ
And will not be absent thence.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.
