Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the Sky is cleft asunder;
When the sky breaks apart
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
When the Stars are scattered;
And when the stars fall, scattering,
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
And when the seas are erupted
وإذا البحار فجرت
And when the Graves are turned upside down; -
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,
وإذا القبور بعثرت
(Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent? -
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!
No! But you deny the Recompense.
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you, -
And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Kind and honourable, - Writing down (your deeds):
Noble and recording;
كراما كاتبين
They know (and understand) all that ye do.
They know whatever you do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,
And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
يصلونها يوم الدين
And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.
And never therefrom will they be absent.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
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.
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.
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
