{بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ}


(1) When the sky breaks apart

{وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْ}


(2) And when the stars fall, scattering,

{وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ}


(3) And when the seas are erupted

{وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ}


(4) And when the [contents of] graves are scattered [i.e., exposed],

{عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ}


(5) A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.

{يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ}


(6) O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,

{الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ}


(7) Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

{فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ}


(8) In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

{كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ}


(9) No! But you deny the Recompense.

{وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ}


(10) And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,[1876]

{كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ}


(11) Noble and recording;

{يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ}


(12) They know whatever you do.

{إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ}


(13) Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

{وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ}


(14) And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

{يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ}


(15) They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,

{وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ}


(16) And never therefrom will they be absent.

{وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ}


(17) And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

{ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ}


(18) Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

{يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ}


(19) 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 Allāh.
