Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the sky breaks apart
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
And when the stars fall, scattering,
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
When the planets are dispersed,
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
And when the seas are erupted
وإذا البحار فجرت
When the seas are poured forth,
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
وإذا القبور بعثرت
And the sepulchres are overturned,
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
No! But you deny the Recompense.
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Lo! there are above you guardians,
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
Noble and recording;
كراما كاتبين
Generous and recording,
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ
They know whatever you do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
Who know (all) that ye do.
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
يصلونها يوم الدين
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
And never therefrom will they be absent.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
And will not be absent thence.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
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.
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
