Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the Sky is cleft asunder;
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
When the Stars are scattered;
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
When the planets are dispersed,
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
وإذا البحار فجرت
When the seas are poured forth,
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
And when the Graves are turned upside down; -
وإذا القبور بعثرت
And the sepulchres are overturned,
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
(Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent? -
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ
Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you, -
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Lo! there are above you guardians,
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
Kind and honourable, - Writing down (your deeds):
كراما كاتبين
Generous and recording,
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ
They know (and understand) all that ye do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
Who know (all) that ye do.
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ
Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,
يصلونها يوم الدين
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
And will not be absent thence.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
(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
A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
