Yusuf Ali

1 When the Sky is cleft asunder;

Pickthall

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is cleft asunder,

Yusuf Ali

2 When the Stars are scattered;

Pickthall

2 When the planets are dispersed,

Yusuf Ali

3 When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;

Pickthall

3 When the seas are poured forth,

Yusuf Ali

4 And when the Graves are turned upside down; -

Pickthall

4 And the sepulchres are overturned,

Yusuf Ali

5 (Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.

Pickthall

5 A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.

Yusuf Ali

6 O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent? -

Pickthall

6 O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,

Yusuf Ali

7 Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;

Pickthall

7 Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ?

Yusuf Ali

8 In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.

Pickthall

8 Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.

Yusuf Ali

9 Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!

Pickthall

9 Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.

Yusuf Ali

10 But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you, -

Pickthall

10 Lo! there are above you guardians,

Yusuf Ali

11 Kind and honourable, - Writing down (your deeds):

Pickthall

11 Generous and recording,

Yusuf Ali

12 They know (and understand) all that ye do.

Pickthall

12 Who know (all) that ye do.

Yusuf Ali

13 As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;

Pickthall

13 Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.

Yusuf Ali

14 And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,

Pickthall

14 And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;

Yusuf Ali

15 Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,

Pickthall

15 They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,

Yusuf Ali

16 And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.

Pickthall

16 And will not be absent thence.

Yusuf Ali

17 And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?

Pickthall

17 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

Yusuf Ali

18 Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?

Pickthall

18 Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

Yusuf Ali

19 (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.

Pickthall

19 A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.
