Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ When the sky breaks apart 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 and when the seas burst beyond their bounds, 3 when the tombs are overthrown, 4 Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back. 5 O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous, 6 Who created you, shaped you, and made you well-proportioned, 7 In whatever shape He will He could surely have fashioned you. 8 Nay, but ye deny the Judgment. 9 but you should know that there are angelic guards 10 Kiraman (honourable) Katibin writing down (your deeds). 11 They know (and understand) all that ye do. 12 The virtuous ones will live in bliss 13 And indeed the sinners are in hell. 14 Roasted they shall be therein on the Day of Requital. 15 and from which they will find no escape. 16 What do you know what the Day of Recompense is? 17 Again, what will make 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
