Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the sky breaks apart
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
And when the stars fall, scattering,
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
And when the stars become dispersed,
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
And when the seas are erupted
وإذا البحار فجرت
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
وإذا القبور بعثرت
And when the graves are laid open,
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
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 has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
No! But you deny the Recompense.
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
وإن عليكم لحافظين
And most surely there are keepers over you
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
Noble and recording;
كراما كاتبين
Honorable recorders,
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ
They know whatever you do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
They know what you do.
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
يصلونها يوم الدين
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
And never therefrom will they be absent.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
And what will make you realize 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 make you realize 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
The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
