Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 49 in Arabic Text
English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 49
And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, “Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?” And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.
And the Book (of Deeds) will be placed (before you); and thou wilt see the sinful in great terror because of what is (recorded) therein; they will say, “Ah! woe to us! what a Book is this! It leaves out nothing small or great, but takes account thereof!” They will find all that they did, placed before them: And not one will thy Lord treat with injustice.
And then the Record of their deeds shall be placed before them and you will see the guilty full of fear for what it contains, and will say: “Woe to us! What a Record this is! It leaves nothing, big or small, but encompasses it.” They will find their deeds confronting them. Your Lord wrongs no one.
And the Book (one’s Record) will be placed (in the right hand for a believer in the Oneness of Allah, and in the left hand for a disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah), and you will see the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.), fearful of that which is (recorded) therein. They will say: “Woe to us! What sort of Book is this that leaves neither a small thing nor a big thing, but has recorded it with numbers!” And they will find all that they did, placed before them, and your Lord treats no one with injustice.
And the Book is placed, and thou seest the guilty fearful of that which is therein, and they say: What kind of a Book is this that leaveth not a small thing nor a great thing but hath counted it! And they find all that they did confronting them, and thy Lord wrongeth no-one.
And the Book will be laid down (i.e. placed in one’s hand). So you will see the criminals (feeling) timorous about what is in it, and they say, “oh woe to us! How is it with this Book, that it leaves out (nothing), small or great, except that it has enumerated it?” And they will find whatever they did present, and your Lord does no injustice to any one.
The record of their deeds will be laid open and you will see the guilty, dismayed at what they contain, saying, ‘Woe to us! What a record this is! It does not leave any deed, small or large, unaccounted for!’ They will find everything they ever did laid in front of them: your Lord will not be unjust to anyone.
اور نامہٴ اعمال سامنے رکھ دیئے جائیں گے۔ پس تو دیکھے گا کہ گنہگار اس کی تحریر سے خوفزده ہو رہے ہوں گے اور کہہ رہے ہوں گے ہائے ہماری خرابی یہ کیسی کتاب ہے جس نے کوئی چھوٹا بڑا بغیر گھیرے کے باقی ہی نہیں چھوڑا، اور جو کچھ انہوں نے کیا تھا سب موجود پائیں گے اور تیرا رب کسی پر ﻇلم وستم نہ کرے گا
