Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Sky is cleft asunder; 1 When the planets are dispersed, 2 When the seas are poured forth, 3 And when the graves are laid open, 4 everyone shall know all his deeds, both the earlier and the later. 5 O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous, 6 Who created you proportionately and fashioned you 7 in whatever form He pleased? 8 No indeed; (the fact is that) you deny the Reckoning, declaring it a lie; 9 Verify there are for you guardians, 10 Illustrious scribes 11 and these honorable scribes know whatever you do. 12 Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight. 13 And indeed the sinners are in hell. 14 They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense, 15 and from which they will find no escape. 16 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is! 17 And once again: What could make thee conceive what that Judgment Day will be? 18 (It will be) the Day when no person shall have power (to do) anything for another, and the Decision, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah. 19
