1 The Cleaving

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ

WHEN THE SKY is cleft asunder

Itha alssamao infatarat

وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انتَثَرَتْ

and when the stars are scattered

Wa-itha alkawakibu intatharat

وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ

and when the seas burst beyond their bounds

Wa-itha albiharu fujjirat

وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ

and when the graves are overturned –

Wa-itha alqubooru buAAthirat

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ

every human being will [at last] comprehend, what he has sent ahead and what he has held back [in this world]

AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ

O MAN! What is it that lures thee away from thy bountiful Sustainer

Ya ayyuha al-insanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi

الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

who has created thee, and formed thee in accordance with what thou art meant' to be, and shaped thy nature in just proportions

Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka

فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ

having put thee together in whatever form He willed [thee to have]

Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ

Nay, [O men,] but you [are lured away from God whenever you are tempted to] give the lie to [God’s] Judgment

Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ

And yet, verily, there are ever-watchful forces over you

Wa-inna AAalaykum lahafitheena

كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ

noble, recording

Kiraman katibeena

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

aware of whatever you do

YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona

إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ

Behold, [in the life to come] the truly virtuous: will indeed be in bliss

Inna al-abrara lafee naAAeemin

وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ

whereas, behold, the wicked will indeed be in a blazing fire –

Wa-inna alfujjara lafee jaheemin

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

[a fire] which they shall enter on Judgment Day

Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ

and which they shall not [be able to] evade

Wama hum AAanha bigha-ibeena

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

And what could make thee conceive what that Judgment Day will be

Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni

ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

And once again: What could make thee conceive what that Judgment Day will be

Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ

[It will be] a Day when no human being shall be of the least avail to another human being: for on that Day [it will become manifest that] all sovereignty is God's alone

Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shay-an waal-amru yawma-ithin lillahi
