Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ WHEN THE SKY is cleft asunder, 1 And when the stars become dispersed, 2 and when the seas burst beyond their bounds, 3 And the sepulchres are overturned, 4 A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind. 5 O man! what hath beguiled thee concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful, 6 who has created thee, and formed thee in accordance with what thou art meant' to be, and shaped thy nature in just proportions, 7 He moulded you into whatever shape He willed. 8 Despite this, you deny the Day of Judgment, 9 And indeed there are some guardians over you. 10 noble scribes, 11 who know whatever you do. 12 Surely the virtuous shall be in Bliss, 13 And most surely the wicked are in burning fire, 14 Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment, 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 make you realize what the day of judgment is? 18 A day when no soul shall possess aught to succour another soul; that day the Command shall belong unto God. 19
