Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ When heaven is split open, 1 And the stars dispersed, 2 when the seas overflow; 3 And when the graves are overturned. 4 the soul shall know what it has done, the former and the latter. 5 O Man! What deceived thee as to thy generous Lord 6 who has created thee, and formed thee in accordance with what thou art meant' to be, and shaped thy nature in just proportions, 7 Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee. 8 By no means! Aye, ye belie the Requital. 9 yet there are over you watchers 10 Kiraman (honourable) Katibin writing down (your deeds). 11 They know what you do. 12 the virtuous will dwell in bliss, 13 The wicked certainly in Hell: 14 roasting therein on the Day of Doom, 15 and from which they will find no escape. 16 They will never be able to escape from it. Would that you knew what the Day of Judgment is! 17 Again would that you only knew how terrible it really is! 18 (It will be) the Day when no person shall have power (to do) anything for another, and the Decision, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah. 19
