Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When the heaven becomes cleft asunder, 1 When the Stars are scattered; 2 When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth; 3 and when the graves are laid open: 4 Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back. 5 O man! what hath beguiled thee concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful, 6 who created you, fashioned you and proportioned you, 7 in whatever form He pleased? 8 Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day, 9 And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers, 10 Noble and recording; 11 and these honorable scribes know whatever you do. 12 The pious will surely be in heaven, 13 whereas the wicked will be in Hell; 14 roasting in it on the Day of Recompense 15 and which they shall not [be able to] evade. 16 What could let you know what the Day of Recompense is! 17 Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is? 18 It is the Day when no soul can do a thing for another soul. That Day, the command belongs to Allah. 19
