Al-Infitaar

Itha alssamao infatarat

Idhā As-Samā'u Anfaţarat

When the heavens are rent asunder

Waitha alkawakibu intatharat

Wa 'Idhā Al-Kawākibu Antatharat

the stars are dispersed

Waitha albiharu fujjirat

Wa 'Idhā Al-Biĥāru Fujjirat

the oceans are merged together

Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat

Wa 'Idhā Al-Qubūru Bu`thirat

and the graves are turned inside out

AAalimat nafsun ma qaddamat waakhkharat

Alimat Nafsun Mā Qaddamat Wa 'Akhkharat

every soul will see the result of its deeds - those recorded before his death and those which will produce either virtue or evil after his death

Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi

Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-'Insānu Mā Gharraka Birabbika Al-Karīmi

Human being, what evil has deceived you about your Gracious Lord

Allathee khalaqaka fasawwaka faAAadalaka

Al-Ladhī Khalaqaka Fasawwāka Fa`adalaka

Who created you proportionately and fashioned you

Fee ayyi sooratin ma shaa rakkabaka

Fī 'Ayyi Şūratin Mā Shā'a Rakkabaka

in whatever composition He wanted

Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni

Kallā Bal Tukadhibūna Bid-Dīni

Despite this, you deny the Day of Judgment

Wainna AAalaykum lahafitheena

Wa 'Inna `Alaykum Laĥāfižīna

but you should know that there are angelic guards

Kiraman katibeena

Kirāmāan Kātibīna

watching over you

YaAAlamoona ma tafAAaloona

Ya`lamūna Mā Taf`alūna

and these honorable scribes know whatever you do

Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin

Inna Al-'Abrāra Lafī Na`īmin

The virtuous ones will live in bliss

Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin

Wa 'Inna Al-Fujjāra Lafī Jaĥīmin

and the evil-doers will be in hell

Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni

Yaşlawnahā Yawma Ad-Dīni

which they will enter on the Day of Judgment

Wama hum AAanha bighaibeena

Wa Mā Hum `Anhā Bighā'ibīna

to burn therein

Wama adraka ma yawmu alddeeni

Wa Mā 'Adrāka Mā Yawmu Ad-Dīni

They will never be able to escape from it. Would that you knew what the Day of Judgment is

Thumma ma adraka ma yawmu alddeeni

Thumma Mā 'Adrāka Mā Yawmu Ad-Dīni

Again would that you only knew how terrible it really is

Yawma la tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan waalamru yawmaithin lillahi

Yawma Lā Tamliku Nafsun Linafsin Shay'āan Wa Al-'Amru Yawma'idhin Lillāhi

On that day, no soul will be of any benefit to any other soul. On that day, all affairs will be in the hands of God
