Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ When the sky is split, 1 when the stars are scattered, 2 And when the seas are erupted 3 And when the graves are laid open, 4 then everyone will know what he has sent ahead, and what he has left behind. 5 O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous, 6 Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical? 7 and composed thee after what form He would? 8 Rather, you belied the Recompense. 9 Surely, there are guardians watching over you, 10 noble scribes 11 Who know (all) that ye do. 12 Verily the pious shall be in Delight. 13 and the evil-doers will be in hell 14 They shall enter it on the Day of Recompense 15 And thence they shall not be allowed to be absent. 16 And what do you know – of what sort is the Day of Justice! 17 Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense? 18 It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah. 19
