Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the heavens are rent asunder, 1 the stars are dispersed, 2 when the oceans are gushed forth, 3 and when graves are laid open, 4 the soul shall know what it has done, the former and the latter. 5 O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful, 6 who created you, fashioned you and proportioned you, 7 and composed thee after what form He would? 8 Nay, [O men,] but you [are lured away from God whenever you are tempted to] give the lie to [God's] Judgment! 9 But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you,- 10 Honorable recorders, 11 and these honorable scribes know whatever you do. 12 Indeed, the righteous shall (live) in bliss. 13 The wicked certainly in Hell: 14 which they will enter on the Day of Judgment 15 And they will not be able to keep away therefrom. 16 And what do you know – of what sort is the Day of Justice! 17 Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is? 18 It will be a Day when no human being shall be of the least avail to any other human being, God [alone] will hold command on that Day. 19
