082. The Cleaving – Al-Infitaar

in
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ﴿٠﴾
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ ﴿١﴾
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ ﴿٢﴾
And when the stars become dispersed,
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ ﴿٣﴾
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ ﴿٤﴾
And when the graves are laid open,
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ ﴿٥﴾
Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ ﴿٦﴾
O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ ﴿٧﴾
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ ﴿٨﴾
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ ﴿٩﴾
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ ﴿١٠﴾
And most surely there are keepers over you
كِرَامًا كَٰتِبِينَ ﴿١١﴾
Honorable recorders,
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿١٢﴾
They know what you do.
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ ﴿١٣﴾
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ ﴿١٤﴾
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿١٥﴾
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ ﴿١٦﴾
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿١٧﴾
And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿١٨﴾
Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ ﴿١٩﴾
The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah’s.
