ٱلْإِسْرَاء : ١٣

  • وَكُلَّ And (for) every
  • إِنسَٰنٍ man
  • أَلۡزَمۡنَٰهُ We have fastened to him
  • طَٰٓئِرَهُۥ his fate
  • فِي in
  • عُنُقِهِۦۖ his neck
  • وَنُخۡرِجُ and We will bring forth
  • لَهُۥ for him
  • يَوۡمَ (on the) Day
  • ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection
  • كِتَٰبٗا a record
  • يَلۡقَىٰهُ which he will find
  • مَنشُورًا wide open
And [for] every person We have imposed his fate upon his neck,1 and We will produce for him on the Day of Resurrection a record which he will encounter spread open.
Footnotes
1 i.e., after having instructed him, We have made him responsible for his own destiny.
And We have attached every person's omen - his deeds - for him to carry, upon his neck - this [site] is singled out for mention because fastening [something] to it is [much] more severe; Mujaahid [ibn Jabr al- Makkee] said, 'There is not a child born but it has a leaf around its neck in which it is decreed [that the childwill be either] fortunate or damned' - and We shall bring forth for him, on the Day of Resurrection, a book, in which his deeds are recorded [and], which he will find wide open (yalqaahu manshooran: both are adjectival qualifications of kitaaban, 'a book').
