Al-Infithar

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتۡ ١

Idhas-samāʾunfaṭarat.

When the sky breaks apart

وَإِذَا ٱلۡكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتۡ ٢

Wa idhal-kawākibuntatharat.

And when the stars fall, scattering,

وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتۡ ٣

Wa idhal-biḥāru fujjirat.

And when the seas are erupted

وَإِذَا ٱلۡقُبُورُ بُعۡثِرَتۡ ٤

Wa idhal-qubūru buʿthirat.

And when the [contents of] graves are scattered [i.e., exposed],

عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّا قَدَّمَتۡ وَأَخَّرَتۡ ٥

ʿAlimat nafsum mā qaddamat wa akhkharat.

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

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡكَرِيمِ ٦

Yāʾayyuhal-insānu mā gharraka birabbikal-karīm.

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

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ ٧

Al-ladhī khalaqaka fasawwāka faʿadalak.

Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

فِيٓ أَيِّ صُورَةٖ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ ٨

Fī ayyi ṣūratim mā shāʾa rakkabak.

In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

كـَلَّا بَلۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ ٩

Kallā bal tukadhdhibūna bid-dīn.

No! But you deny the Recompense.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَحَٰفِظِينَ ١٠

Wa inna ʿalaykum laḥāfiẓīn.

And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,¹

كِرَامٗا كَٰتِبِينَ ١١

Kirāman kātibīn.

Noble and recording;

يَعۡلَمُونَ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ ١٢

Yaʿlamūna mā tafʿalūn.

They know whatever you do.

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٖ ١٣

Innal-abrāra lafī naʿīm.

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

وَإِنَّ ٱلۡفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٖ ١٤

Wa innal-fujjāra lafī jaḥīm.

And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

يَصۡلَوۡنَهَا يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ ١٥

Yaṣlawnahā yawmad-dīn.

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

وَمَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ ١٦

Wa mā hum ʿanhā bighāʾibīn.

And never therefrom will they be absent.

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ ١٧

Wa mā adrāka mā yawmud-dīn.

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

ثُمَّ مَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ ١٨

Thumma mā adrāka mā yawmud-dīn.

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

يَوۡمَ لَا تَمۡلِكُ نَفۡسٞ لِّنَفۡسٖ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ وَٱلۡأَمۡرُ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلَّهِ ١٩

Yawma lā tamliku nafsul linafsin shayʾā, wal-amru yawmaʾidhil lillāh.

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 Allāh.
