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