Surah Al-Infitar (The Cleaving) — Arabic text & English translation
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ ٥
5. A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ ٦
6. O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ ٧
7. Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee?
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ ٨
8. Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ ١٠
10. Lo! there are above you guardians,
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ ١٣
13. Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ ١٤
14. And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ١٥
15. They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ١٧
17. Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ١٨
18. Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ ١٩
19. A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah’s.
