When the sky will split apart because of the angels descending from it.
When the stars fall one after the other and are scattered.
When the seas are opened into one another and they merge.
82:4Page 587
وَإِذَا ٱلۡقُبُورُ بُعۡثِرَتۡ ٤
And when the [contents of] graves are scattered [i.e., exposed],
When the soil of graves is turned over to resurrect the dead in them.
82:5Page 587
عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّا قَدَّمَتۡ وَأَخَّرَتۡ ٥
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
At that time, every soul will know the actions it sent forward and those it left behind and did not do.
82:6Page 587
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡكَرِيمِ ٦
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,
O man who has rejected his Lord! What has made you go against the instruction of your Lord when He gave you respite and did not punish you quickly, as a favour from Him?!
82:7Page 587
ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ ٧
Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?
The One Who gave you existence after you were non-existent, and Who proportioned and balanced your limbs.
82:8Page 587
فِيٓ أَيِّ صُورَةٖ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ ٨
In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
In whatever form He wished to create you, He created you. He favoured you as He did not create you in the form of a donkey, monkey, dog or other form.
O you who are deceived, the matter is not as you thought! In fact, you deny the day of recompense and do not work for it.
Over you are angels who record your deeds.
Noble in Allah’s sight, scribes who write down your deeds.
They know of every action you do and they write it down.
Those who do abundant acts of good and obedience will be in everlasting bliss on the day of judgment.
Those who committed iniquity will be in a fire that will be burned over them.
82:15Page 587
يَصۡلَوۡنَهَا يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ ١٥
They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,
They will enter it on the day of recompense and suffer from its heat.
They will never be absent from it. Instead they will remain in it forever.
82:17Page 587
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ ١٧
And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
O Messenger! What will tell you what the day of justice is?
82:18Page 587
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ ١٨
Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?
Again, what will tell you what the day of justice is?
82:19Page 587
يَوۡمَ لَا تَمۡلِكُ نَفۡسٞ لِّنَفۡسٖ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ وَٱلۡأَمۡرُ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلَّهِ ١٩
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.
A day when no one will be able to benefit anyone. The entire matter on that day will belong to Allah alone, to deal as He wishes, and not to anyone besides Him.
