The Cleaving

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ إِذَا ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ ٱنفَطَرَتۡ

When the sky breaks apart

وَإِذَا ٱلۡكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتۡ

And when the stars fall, scattering,

وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتۡ

And when the seas are erupted

وَإِذَا ٱلۡقُبُورُ بُعۡثِرَتۡ

And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,

عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسࣱ مَّا قَدَّمَتۡ وَأَخَّرَتۡ

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

یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡكَرِیمِ

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

ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

فِیۤ أَیِّ صُورَةࣲ مَّا شَاۤءَ رَكَّبَكَ

In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

كَلَّا بَلۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّینِ

No! But you deny the Recompense.

وَإِنَّ عَلَیۡكُمۡ لَحَـٰفِظِینَ

And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,

كِرَامࣰا كَـٰتِبِینَ

Noble and recording;

یَعۡلَمُونَ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ

They know whatever you do.

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِی نَعِیمࣲ

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

وَإِنَّ ٱلۡفُجَّارَ لَفِی جَحِیمࣲ

And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

یَصۡلَوۡنَهَا یَوۡمَ ٱلدِّینِ

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

وَمَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا بِغَاۤىِٕبِینَ

And never therefrom will they be absent.

وَمَاۤ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا یَوۡمُ ٱلدِّینِ

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

ثُمَّ مَاۤ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا یَوۡمُ ٱلدِّینِ

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

یَوۡمَ لَا تَمۡلِكُ نَفۡسࣱ لِّنَفۡسࣲ شَیۡـࣰٔاۖ وَٱلۡأَمۡرُ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ لِّلَّهِ

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 Allah.
