Surah Al-Infitar – The Cleaving

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ

Izas samaaa'un fatarat

When the Sky is cleft asunder;

وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ

Wa izal kawaakibun tasarat

When the Stars are scattered;

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ

Wa izal bihaaru fujjirat

When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;

وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ

Wa izal qubooru bu'sirat

And when the Graves are turned upside down;-

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ

'Alimat nafsum maa qaddamat wa akhkharat

(Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ

Yaaa ayyuhal insaaanu maa gharraka bi Rabbikal kareem

O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent?-

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

Allazee khalaqaka fasaw waaka fa'adalak

Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;

فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍۢ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ

Feee ayye sooratim maa shaaa'a rakkabak

In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ

Kalla bal tukazziboona bid deen

Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ

Wa inna 'alaikum lahaa fizeen

But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you,-

كِرَامًۭا كَٰتِبِينَ

Kiraaman kaatibeen

Kind and honourable,- Writing down (your deeds):

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

Ya'lamoona ma taf'aloon

They know (and understand) all that ye do.

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍۢ

Innal abraara lafee na'eem

As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;

وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍۢ

Wa innal fujjaara lafee jaheem

And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

Yaslawnahaa Yawmad Deen

Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ

Wa maa hum 'anhaa bighaaa 'ibeen

And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

Wa maaa adraaka maa Yawmud Deen

And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?

ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

Summa maaa adraaka maa Yawmud Deen

Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌۭ لِّنَفْسٍۢ شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلَّهِ

Yawma laa tamliku nafsul linafsin shai'anw walamru yawma'izil lillaah

(It will be) the Day when no soul shall have power (to do) aught for another: For the command, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah.
