وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ Qur’an At-Takwir (81:7)
Wai tha a l nnufoosu zuwwijat
and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds],3
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

I.e., when none will be able to divest himself of responsibility for his past deeds.

when the souls will be reunited with the bodies;
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
and when the souls 'and their bodies' are paired 'once more',
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
And when souls are reunited,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
When the souls are sorted out (Being joined like with like); 5976
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. lvi. 7, where the sorting out into three classes is mentioned, viz.,: Those Nearest to Allah, the Companions of the Right Hand, and the Companions of the Left Hand. That was a sort of broad general division. The meaning in this passage is wider, (7) Whereas in this world of probation, good is mixed with evil, knowledge with ignorance, power with arrogance, and so on, in the new world of Reality, all true values will be restored, and like will consort with like, for it will be a world of perfect Peace, Harmony, and Justice.
