Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the sky breaks apart
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ
And when the stars fall, scattering,
وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انتَثَرَتْ
And when the seas are erupted
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and 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
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ
No! But you deny the Recompense.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ
Noble and recording;
كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ
They know whatever you do.
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
And never therefrom will they be absent.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
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
