Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the Sky is cleft asunder; 1 And when the stars shall be scattered, 2 when the seas are made to burst forth, 3 And when the Graves are turned upside down;- 4 (Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back. 5 O MAN! What is it that lures thee away from thy bountiful Sustainer, 6 Who created you then formed your symmetry, then gave you right proportion, 7 He moulded you into whatever shape He willed. 8 Rather, you belied the Recompense. 9 But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you,- 10 Honorable recorders, 11 who know what you do. 12 Verily the pious shall be in Delight. 13 and the wicked shall be in the Blazing Fire. 14 [a fire] which they shall enter on Judgment Day, 15 And they will not be able to keep away therefrom. 16 What do you know what the Day of Recompense is? 17 Again, what could let you know what the Day of Recompense 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
