Al Infitar

1 When the sky breaks apart

1 When the Sky is cleft asunder;

1 Itha alssamao infatarat

2 And when the stars fall, scattering,

2 When the Stars are scattered;

2 Waitha alkawakibu intatharat

3 And when the seas are erupted

3 When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;

3 Waitha albiharu fujjirat

4 And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,

4 And when the Graves are turned upside down; -

4 Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat

5 A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.

5 (Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.

5 AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat

6 O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,

6 O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent? -

6 Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi

7 Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

7 Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;

7 Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka

8 In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

8 In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.

8 Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka

9 No! But you deny the Recompense.

9 Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!

9 Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni

10 And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,

10 But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you, -

10 Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena

11 Noble and recording;

11 Kind and honourable, - Writing down (your deeds):

11 Kiraman katibeena

12 They know whatever you do.

12 They know (and understand) all that ye do.

12 YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona

13 Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

13 As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;

13 Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin

14 And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

14 And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,

14 Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin

15 They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,

15 Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,

15 Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni

16 And never therefrom will they be absent.

16 And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.

16 Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena

17 And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

17 And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?

17 Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni

18 Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

18 Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?

18 Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni

19 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.

19 (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.

19 Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
