Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the Sky is cleft asunder; 1 When the Stars are scattered; 2 when the oceans are gushed forth, 3 and when graves are laid open, 4 Each soul shall know that which it sent afore and that which it left behind. 5 O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one, 6 Who created you, shaped you, and made you well-proportioned, 7 in whatever form He pleased? 8 Despite this, you deny the Day of Judgment, 9 Yet over you there are watchers, 10 Honourablel scribes. 11 aware of whatever you do! 12 Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure, 13 And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell; 14 [a fire] which they shall enter on Judgment Day, 15 nor shall they ever be absent from it. 16 And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is? 17 Again, what do you know what the Day of Recompense is? 18 A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's. 19
