Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the heaven is split asunder, 1 When the planets are dispersed, 2 When the oceans begin to flow, 3 and the graves are turned inside out, 4 then everyone will know what he has sent ahead, and what he has left behind. 5 O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous, 6 Who created you then formed your symmetry, then gave you right proportion, 7 Shaping you into any form He pleased? 8 Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day, 9 Yet over you there are watchers, 10 watching over you 11 and these honorable scribes know whatever you do. 12 Indeed the virtuous are in serenity. 13 And most surely the wicked are in burning fire, 14 [a fire] which they shall enter on Judgment Day, 15 and from which they will find no escape. 16 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is! 17 Again, what shall make thee know whatsoever the Day of Requital is? 18 On that day, no soul will be of any benefit to any other soul. On that day, all affairs will be in the hands of God. 19
