In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. |
1. | 
When the heaven is cleft asunder. |
2. | 
And when the stars have fallen and scattered; |
3. | 
And when the seas are burst forth (got dried up); |
4. | 
And when the graves are turned upside down (and they
bring out their contents) |
5. | 
(Then) a person will know what he has sent forward and
(what he has) left behind (of good or bad deeds). |
6. | 
O man! What has made you careless concerning your Lord,
the Most Generous? |
7. | 
Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you
due proportion; |
8. | 
In whatever form He willed, He put you together. |
9. | 
Nay! But you deny the Recompense (reward for good deeds
and punishment for evil deeds). |
10. | 
But verily, over you (are appointed angels in charge
of mankind) to watch you[] , |
11. | 
Kirâman (honourable) Kâtibîn
writing down (your deeds)[] , |
12. | 
They know all that you do. |
13. | 
Verily, the Abrâr (pious and righteous)
will be in delight (Paradise); |
14. | 
And verily, the Fujjâr (the wicked, disbelievers,
sinners and evil-doers) will be in the blazing Fire (Hell), |
15. | 
In which they will enter, and taste its burning flame
on the Day of Recompense, |
16. | 
And they (Al-Fujjâr) will not be absent
therefrom (i.e. will not go out from the Hell). |
17. | 
And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense
is? |
18. | 
Again, what will make you know what the Day of Recompense
is? |
19. | 
(It will be) the Day when no person shall have power
(to do) anything for another, and the Decision, that Day, will
be (wholly) with Allâh. |
