Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ WHEN THE SKY is cleft asunder, 1 And the stars dispersed, 2 when the seas are made to burst forth, 3 when the graves are overturned, 4 Each soul shall know that which it sent afore and that which it left behind. 5 O MAN! What is it that lures thee away from thy bountiful Sustainer, 6 Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you? 7 In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together. 8 No! But you deny the Recompense. 9 Verify there are for you guardians, 10 Kiraman (honourable) Katibin writing down (your deeds). 11 who know all that you do: 12 Indeed the virtuous are in serenity. 13 And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell; 14 They shall enter it on the Day of Recompense 15 And will not be able to hide from it. 16 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is! 17 Again, what could let you know what the Day of Recompense is! 18 It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah. 19
