    Translation by Dr Munir Munshey

    Verse 1

    When the sky is split asunder

    Verse 2

    And the stars are strewn around

    Verse 3

    And the oceans spill forth

    Verse 4

    And the graves are overturned (and emptied)

    Verse 5

    (That is the day when) every soul would learn everything it did, that which it sent ahead, and that which it left behind

    Verse 6

    (Oh people)! What has lured you away from your Lord, the most Eminent, the Generous

    Verse 7

    The One Who created you, fashioned you, and gave you (the right) proportions

    Verse 8

    In whatever form He willed, He brought you into being

    Verse 9

    No! Rather, you deny the (day of) reward and punishment

    Verse 10

    Indeed, to watch over you (and record) are

    Verse 11

    The noble scribes, (the angels)

    Verse 12

    They know everything you do

    Verse 13

    Of course, the pious would be in bliss

    Verse 14

    And the wicked would surely be in hellfire

    Verse 15

    They shall join it on the Day of Judgment

    Verse 16

    And (thereafter) they shall never (be allowed to) remain absent from it

    Verse 17

    What can make you grasp the reality of the Day of Judgment

    Verse 18

    (Think) again! What can make you grasp the reality of the Day of Judgment

    Verse 19

    That day, no soul shall have any power to do anything at all for anyone else. That day, the command will belong to Allah (exclusively)
