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