Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the heaven shall be cleft, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 and when the seas burst beyond their bounds, 3 And when the graves are laid open, 4 the soul shall know what it has done, the former and the latter. 5 O man! What is it that lures you away from your bountiful Sustainer, 6 Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you? 7 in whatever form He pleased? 8 No! But you deny the Recompense. 9 Lo! there are above you guardians, 10 Honorable recorders, 11 who know whatever you do. 12 Verily the pious shall be in Delight. 13 The wicked certainly in Hell: 14 They will burn in it on the Day of Judgement, 15 and from it they shall never be absent. 16 And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense? 17 Again, what shall make thee know whatsoever the Day of Requital is? 18 A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's. 19
