1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder.

1 When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,

2 When the planets are dispersed,

2 And when the stars have fallen and scattered.

2 And when the stars become dispersed,

3 When the seas are poured forth,

3 And when the seas are burst forth.

3 And when the seas are made to flow forth,

4 And the sepulchres are overturned,

4 And when the graves are turned upside down (and bring out their contents)

4 And when the graves are laid open,

5 A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.

5 (Then) a person will know what he has sent forward and (what he has) left behind (of good or bad deeds).

5 Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.

6 O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,

6 O man! What has made you careless about your Lord, the Most Generous?

6 O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,

7 Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?

7 Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion.

7 Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?

8 Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.

8 In whatever form He willed, He put you together.

8 Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.

9 Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.

9 Nay! But you deny Ad-Din (i.e. the Day of Recompense).

9 Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,

10 Lo! there are above you guardians,

10 But verily, over you (are appointed angels in charge of mankind) to watch you,

10 And most surely there are keepers over you

11 Generous and recording,

11 Kiraman (Honourable) Katibin writing down (your deeds),

11 Honorable recorders,

12 Who know (all) that ye do.

12 They know all that you do.

12 They know what you do.

13 Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.

13 Verily, the Abrar (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism) will be in Delight (Paradise);

13 Most surely the righteous are in bliss,

14 And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;

14 And verily, the Fujjar (the wicked, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners and evil-doers) will be in the blazing Fire (Hell),

14 And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,

15 They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,

15 Therein they will enter, and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense,

15 They shall enter it on the day of judgment.

16 And will not be absent thence.

16 And they (Al-Fujjar) will not be absent therefrom.

16 And they shall by no means be absent from it.

17 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

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

17 And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?

18 Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

18 Again, what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is?

18 Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?

19 A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.

19 (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.

19 The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.
