Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the heaven becomes cleft asunder, 1 and when the stars are scattered, 2 when the seas overflow; 3 and when the graves are laid open: 4 Every soul will come to know what it has sent ahead and what it left behind. 5 O man, what seduced you from your munificent Lord 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 having put thee together in whatever form He willed [thee to have]? 8 Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment! 9 Surely there are guardians over you, 10 Kiraman (honourable) Katibin writing down (your deeds). 11 Knowing all what you may do. 12 Most surely the righteous are in bliss, 13 whereas the wicked will be in Hell; 14 roasting therein on the Day of Doom, 15 And will not be removed from it. 16 And what could make thee conceive what that Judgment Day will be? 17 Again would that you only knew how terrible it really is! 18 A day when no soul shall possess aught to succour another soul; that day the Command shall belong unto God. 19
