| 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 | Kiraman (honourable) Katibeen writing down (your deeds) ,
| |
| 12 | They know all that you do.
| |
| 13 | Verily, the Abrar (pious and righteous) will be in delight (Paradise);
| |
| 14 | And verily, the Fujjar (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-Fujjar) 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 Allah.
