Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the Sky is cleft asunder;
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
Itha alssamao infatarat
When the Stars are scattered;
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
وإذا البحار فجرت
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
And when the Graves are turned upside down; -
وإذا القبور بعثرت
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
(Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat
O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent? -
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka
In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka
Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni
But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you, -
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena
Kind and honourable, - Writing down (your deeds):
كراما كاتبين
Kiraman katibeena
They know (and understand) all that ye do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona
As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin
Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,
يصلونها يوم الدين
Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena
And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni
(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
Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi
