Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ When the sky is cleft asunder; 1 When the Stars are scattered; 2 and when the seas burst beyond their bounds, 3 and when the graves are overturned 4 A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back. 5 O MAN! What is it that lures thee away from thy bountiful Sustainer, 6 Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you? 7 having put thee together in whatever form He willed [thee to have]? 8 Nay, [O men,] but you [are lured away from God whenever you are tempted to] give the lie to [God's] Judgment! 9 yet there are over you watchers 10 Kind and honourable,- Writing down (your deeds): 11 Who know what you do. 12 The virtuous ones will live in bliss 13 And verily the ungodly shall be in a Scorch. 14 roasting therein on the Day of Doom, 15 to burn therein. 16 What will make you realize what the Day of Judgement will be? 17 Again, what could let you know what the Day of Recompense 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
