Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the sky breaks apart
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ
When the Sky is cleft asunder;
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
And when the stars fall, scattering,
وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انتَثَرَتْ
When the Stars are scattered;
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
And when the seas are erupted
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
And when the Graves are turned upside down; -
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
(Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ
O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent? -
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ
In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
No! But you deny the Recompense.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ
Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ
But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you, -
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
Noble and recording;
كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ
Kind and honourable, - Writing down (your deeds):
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ
They know whatever you do.
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
They know (and understand) all that ye do.
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ
And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
And never therefrom will they be absent.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ
And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
Again, what will explain to 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.
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
(It will be) the Day when no soul shall have power (to do) aught for another: For the command, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah.
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
