Surah The Cleaving [AL-Infitar] Ayah 19 Location Maccah Number 82

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ ﴿١﴾

WHEN THE SKY is split asunder,

وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ ﴿٢﴾

And the stars dispersed,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ ﴿٣﴾

When the oceans begin to flow,

وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ ﴿٤﴾

When the graves are overturned,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ ﴿٥﴾

Each soul will know what it had sent ahead and what it had left behind.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ ﴿٦﴾

O man, what seduced you from your munificent Lord

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ ﴿٧﴾

Who created you then formed your symmetry, then gave you right proportion,

فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍۢ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ ﴿٨﴾

Shaping you into any form He pleased?

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ ﴿٩﴾

Even then you deny the Judgement.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ ﴿١٠﴾

Surely there are guardians over you,

كِرَامًۭا كَٰتِبِينَ ﴿١١﴾

Illustrious scribes

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿١٢﴾

Who know what you do.

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍۢ ﴿١٣﴾

The pious will surely be in heaven,

وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍۢ ﴿١٤﴾

The wicked certainly in Hell:

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿١٥﴾

They will burn in it on the Day of Judgement,

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ ﴿١٦﴾

And will not be removed from it.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿١٧﴾

How can you comprehend what the Day of Judgement is?

ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿١٨﴾

How then can you comprehend what the Day of Judgement is?

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌۭ لِّنَفْسٍۢ شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلَّهِ ﴿١٩﴾

It is the day when no soul will have power to do the least for a soul, and God's alone will be done.
