Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ When the heaven splits open. 1 the stars are dispersed, 2 When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth; 3 And when the graves are laid open, 4 everyone shall know all his deeds, both the earlier and the later. 5 O man! What has deceived you about your generous Lord 6 Who created you then formed your symmetry, then gave you right proportion, 7 Shaping you into any form He pleased? 8 Despite this, you deny the Day of Judgment, 9 But verily, over you (are appointed angels in charge of mankind) to watch you. 10 watching over you 11 Knowing all what you may do. 12 Verily the pious shall be in Delight. 13 And most surely the wicked are in burning fire, 14 which they shall enter on the Day of Judgement, 15 and from which they will find no escape. 16 What could let you know what the Day of Recompense is! 17 Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense? 18 (It will be) the Day when no person shall have power (to do) anything for another, and the Decision, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah. 19
