بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ
When the sky is split,
وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْ
when the planets are scattered,
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
when the oceans are gushed forth,
وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
when the graves are overturned,
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
the soul shall know what it has done, the former and the latter.
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ
O human! What has deceived you concerning your Generous Lord
الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
who created you, formed you and proportioned you?
فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ
In whatever shape He will He could surely have fashioned you.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ
Rather, you belied the Recompense.
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ
Yet over you there are watchers,
كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ
noble scribes
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
who know of all that you do.
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
Indeed, the righteous shall (live) in bliss.
وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ
But the wicked, indeed they shall be in the Fiery Furnace,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
roasting in it on the Day of Recompense
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ
and from it they shall never be absent.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
What could let you know what the Day of Recompense is!
ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
Again, what could let you know what the Day of Recompense is!
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ
It is the Day when no soul can do a thing for another soul. That Day, the command belongs to Allah.
