Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the sky breaks apart
When the Sky is cleft asunder;
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
And when the stars fall, scattering,
When the Stars are scattered;
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
And when the seas are erupted
When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
وإذا البحار فجرت
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
And when the Graves are turned upside down; -
وإذا القبور بعثرت
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
(Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent? -
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
No! But you deny the Recompense.
Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you, -
وإن عليكم لحافظين
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
Noble and recording;
Kind and honourable, - Writing down (your deeds):
كراما كاتبين
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ
They know whatever you do.
They know (and understand) all that ye do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,
يصلونها يوم الدين
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
And never therefrom will they be absent.
And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
And what will explain to 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 explain to 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.
(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.
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
