:1. When the Sky is cleft asunder;
:2. When the Stars are scattered;
:3. When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
:4. And when the Graves are turned upside down;-
:5. (Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.
:6. O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent?-
:7. Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
:8. In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
:9. Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!
:10. But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you,-
:11. Kind and honourable,- Writing down (your deeds):
:12. They know (and understand) all that ye do.
:13. As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;
:14. And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,
:15. Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,
:16. And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.
:17. And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
:18. Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
:19. (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.
