Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the Sky is cleft asunder;
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
When the sky breaks apart
When the Stars are scattered;
And when the stars become dispersed,
And when the stars fall, scattering,
When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
And when the seas are erupted
And when the Graves are turned upside down; -
And when the graves are laid open,
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
(Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.
Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent? -
O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
No! But you deny the Recompense.
But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you, -
And most surely there are keepers over you
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
Kind and honourable, - Writing down (your deeds):
Honorable recorders,
Noble and recording;
They know (and understand) all that ye do.
They know what you do.
They know whatever you do.
As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
And never therefrom will they be absent.
And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
(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.
The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.
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.
