ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ﴿٧﴾

82:7who created you and proportioned you, and gave you an upright nature,

فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍۢ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ﴿٨﴾

82:8and composed you in any form that He wished?

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ﴿٩﴾

82:9No! Indeed, you deny the Retribution.²

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ﴿١٠﴾

82:10Indeed, there are over you watchers,

كِرَامًۭا كَٰتِبِينَ﴿١١﴾

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ﴿١٢﴾

82:12who know whatever you do.

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍۢ﴿١٣﴾

82:13Indeed the pious shall be amid bliss,⁴

وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍۢ﴿١٤﴾

82:14and indeed the vicious shall be in hell,⁵

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ﴿١٥﴾

82:15entering it on the Day of Retribution,⁶

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ﴿١٦﴾

82:16and they shall not be absent from it.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ﴿١٧﴾

ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ﴿١٨﴾

82:18Again, what will show you what is the Day of Retribution?

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌۭ لِّنَفْسٍۢ شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلَّهِ﴿١٩﴾

82:19It is a day when no soul will be of any avail to another soul and all command that day will belong to Allah.
