بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ1
When the sky is torn apart
وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْ2
when the stars are scattered
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ3
when the seas burst forth
وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ4
when graves turn inside out
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ5
each soul will know what it has done and what it has left undone
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ6
Mankind, what has lured you away from God
الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ7
your generous Lord, who created you, shaped you, proportioned you
فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ8
in whatever form He chose
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ9
Yet you still take the Judgement to be a lie
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ10
Over you stand
كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ11
watchers, noble recorders
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ12
who know what you do
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ13
the good will live in bliss
وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ14
and the wicked will burn in the Fire
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ15
They will enter it on the Day of Judgement
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ16
and they will find no escape
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ17
What will explain to you what the Day of Judgement is
ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ18
Yes! What will explain to you what the Day of Judgement is
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ19
The Day when no soul will be able to do anything for another; on that Day, command will belong to God
