Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ When the heaven is cleft asunder. 1 the stars are dispersed, 2 And when the seas are made to flow forth, 3 And when the graves are laid open, 4 then a soul shall know its works, the former and the latter. 5 Human being, what evil has deceived you about your Gracious Lord, 6 Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee? 7 In whatsoever form He listed He constructed thee. 8 Nay, [O men,] but you [are lured away from God whenever you are tempted to] give the lie to [God's] Judgment! 9 Verify there are for you guardians, 10 noble, recording, 11 Knowing all what you may do. 12 Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight. 13 And indeed the sinners are in hell. 14 roasting in it on the Day of Recompense 15 And thence they shall not be allowed to be absent. 16 What do you know what the Day of Recompense is? 17 Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is? 18 It is the day when no soul will have power to do the least for a soul, and God's alone will be done. 19
