Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ When heaven is split open, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 When the seas are poured forth, 3 when the graves are overturned, 4 (Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back. 5 O man! what hath beguiled thee concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful, 6 who created thee and shaped thee and wrought thee in symmetry 7 Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you. 8 Nay, [O men,] but you [are lured away from God whenever you are tempted to] give the lie to [God's] Judgment! 9 Lo! there are above you guardians, 10 Kind and honourable,- Writing down (your deeds): 11 Knowing all what you may do. 12 Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure, 13 The wicked certainly in Hell: 14 They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense, 15 and from it they shall never be absent. 16 What could let you know what the Day of Recompense is! 17 Again, what do you know what the Day of Recompense is? 18 (It will be) the Day when no soul shall have power (to do) aught for another: For the command, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah. 19
