Surah Al-Infitar · The Cleaving

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ ۝١

idhā l-samāu infaṭarat

When the sky breaks apart

وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ ۝٢

wa-idhā l-kawākibu intatharat

And when the stars fall, scattering,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ ۝٣

wa-idhā l-biḥāru fujjirat

And when the seas are erupted

وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ ۝٤

wa-idhā l-qubūru buʿ'thirat

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

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ ۝٥

ʿalimat nafsun mā qaddamat wa-akharat

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

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ ۝٦

yāayyuhā l-insānu mā gharraka birabbika l-karīm

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

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ ۝٧

alladhī khalaqaka fasawwāka faʿadalak

Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ ۝٨

fī ayyi ṣūratin mā shāa rakkabak

In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ ۝٩

kallā bal tukadhibūna bil-dīn

No! But you deny the Recompense.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَـٰفِظِينَ ۝١٠

wa-inna ʿalaykum laḥāfiẓīn

And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,

كِرَامًا كَـٰتِبِينَ ۝١١

kirāman kātibīn

Noble and recording;

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ۝١٢

yaʿlamūna mā tafʿalūn

They know whatever you do.

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ ۝١٣

inna l-abrāra lafī naʿīm

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ ۝١٤

wa-inna l-fujāra lafī jaḥīm

And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ۝١٥

yaṣlawnahā yawma l-dīn

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

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ ۝١٦

wamā hum ʿanhā bighāibīn

And never therefrom will they be absent.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ۝١٧

wamā adrāka mā yawmu l-dīn

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

ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ۝١٨

thumma mā adrāka mā yawmu l-dīn

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

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ ۝١٩

yawma lā tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan wal-amru yawma-idhin lillah

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.
