Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the sky breaks apart
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
Itha alssamao infatarat
And when the stars fall, scattering,
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
And when the seas are erupted
وإذا البحار فجرت
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
وإذا القبور بعثرت
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
No! But you deny the Recompense.
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
Noble and recording;
كراما كاتبين
Kiraman katibeena
They know whatever you do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
يصلونها يوم الدين
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
And never therefrom will they be absent.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
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
Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
