إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ
When the sky is cleft asunder;
The Shattering · al-Infitar · سورة الانفطار · 19 ayahs
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْ
and when the stars are scattered;
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
when the seas overflow;
وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
and when the graves are laid open:
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
then everyone will know what he has sent ahead, and what he has left behind.
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ
O man! What is it that lures you away from your bountiful Sustainer,
الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
who created you, fashioned you and proportioned you,
فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ
in whatever form He pleased?
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ
Yet you deny the Last Judgement.
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ
Surely, there are guardians watching over you,
كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ
noble recorders,
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
who know all that you do:
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
the virtuous will dwell in bliss,
وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ
whereas the wicked will be in Hell;
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
which they shall enter on the Day of Judgement,
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ
and from which they will find no escape.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
What will make you realize what the Day of Judgement will be?
ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
Again: what will make you realize what the Day of Judgement will be?
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ
It will be a Day when no human being shall be of the least avail to any other human being, God [alone] will hold command on that Day.
