4 وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
And when the Graves are turned upside down;-
5 عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ

7 ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;

In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.

Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,

And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.
17 وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
18 ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
19 يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ
(It will be) the Day when no soul shall have power (to do) aught for another: For the command, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah.
