The Day of Judgement

إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا١

When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake

وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا٢

And the earth discharges its burdens

وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا٣

And man says, "What is [wrong] with it?" -

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا٤

That Day, it will report its news

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا٥

Because your Lord has commanded it.

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًۭا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ٦

That Day, the people will depart separated [into categories] to be shown [the result of] their deeds.

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًۭا يَرَهُۥ٧

So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it,

ٱلْقَارِعَةُ١

The Striking Calamity -

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ٢

What is the Striking Calamity?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ٣

And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ٤

It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ٥

And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ٦

Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ٧

He will be in a pleasant life.

إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ١

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ٢

And when the stars fall, dispersing,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ٣

And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ٤

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ٥

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ٦

And when the seas are filled with flame

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ٧

And when the souls are paired

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ١

When the sky breaks apart

وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ٢

And when the stars fall, scattering,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ٣

And when the seas are erupted

وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ٤

And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ٥

A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ٦

O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ٧

Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ١٣

Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ١٤

And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -

فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ١٥

Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاهِيَةٌۭ١٦

And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.

وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ ثَمَٰنِيَةٌۭ١٧

And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌۭ١٨

That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَٰبِيَهْ١٩

So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ شَىْءٌ عَظِيمٌۭ١

O mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a terrible thing.

يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّآ أَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُكَٰرَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَٰرَىٰ وَلَٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ ٱللَّهِ شَدِيدٌۭ٢

On the Day you see it every nursing mother will be distracted from that [child] she was nursing, and every pregnant woman will abort her pregnancy, and you will see the people [appearing] intoxicated while they are not intoxicated; but the punishment of Allah is severe.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ٣٣

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ٣٤

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ٣٥

And his mother and his father

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ٣٦

And his wife and his children,

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ٣٧

For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ٣٨

[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -

ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ٣٩

Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
