Al-'Infiţār

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ

Itha assamao infatarat

When the sky is torn apart,

وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ

Wa-itha alkawakibu intatharat

when the stars are scattered,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ

Wa-itha albiharu fujjirat

when the seas burst forth,

وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ

Wa-itha alqubooru buAAthirat

when graves turn inside out:

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ

AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamatwaakhkharat

each soul will know what it has done and what it has left undone.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ

Ya ayyuha al-insanu magharraka birabbika alkareem

Mankind, what has lured you away from God,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

Allathee khalaqaka fasawwakafaAAadalak

your generous Lord, who created you, shaped you, proportioned you,

فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ

Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaarakkabak

in whatever form He chose?

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ

Kalla bal tukaththiboona biddeen

Yet you still take the Judgement to be a lie!

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَـٰفِظِينَ

Wa-inna AAalaykum lahafitheen

Over you stand

كِرَامًا كَـٰتِبِينَ

Kiraman katibeen

watchers, noble recorders

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloon

who know what you do:

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ

Inna al-abrara lafee naAAeem

the good will live in bliss,

وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ

Wa-inna alfujjara lafee jaheem

and the wicked will burn in the Fire.

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

Yaslawnaha yawma addeen

They will enter it on the Day of Judgement

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ

Wama hum AAanha bigha-ibeen

and they will find no escape.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

Wama adraka ma yawmu addeeni

What will explain to you what the Day of Judgement is?

ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

Thumma ma adraka mayawmu addeen

Yes! What will explain to you what the Day of Judgement is?

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ

Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsinshay-an wal-amru yawma-ithin lillah

The Day when no soul will be able to do anything for another; on that Day, command will belong to God.
