1. When the heaven is ripped apart.

2. And when the stars fall, scattered;

3. And when the seas erupt;

4. And when the graves are turned upside down (and they bring out their contents)

5. (Then) a person will know what he has sent forward and (what he has) left behind.

6. O man! What has emboldened you against your Lord, the Most Generous?

7. Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion;

8. In whatever form He willed, He put you together.

9. Nay! But you deny the Recompense.

10. But verily, over you (are angels) to watch you,

11. honourably writing down (your deeds),

12. They know all that you do.

13. Verily, the pious and righteous will be in delight;

14. And verily, the the wicked disbelievers will be in the blazing Fire (Hell),

15. In which they will enter, and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense,

16. And they will find no escape.

17. And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is?

18. Again, what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is?

19. The Day when no person shall have power to do anything for another, and the Decision, that Day, will be only with Allah.
