Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the heavens are rent asunder, 1 And when the stars have fallen and scattered; 2 When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth; 3 And the sepulchres are overturned, 4 A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back. 5 O human! What has deceived you concerning your Generous Lord 6 Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you? 7 He moulded you into whatever shape He willed. 8 Nay, [O men,] but you [are lured away from God whenever you are tempted to] give the lie to [God's] Judgment! 9 you do so the while there are watchers over you; 10 noble, recording, 11 They know whatsoever ye do. 12 Surely the pious shall be in bliss, 13 and the libertines shall be in a fiery furnace 14 Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment, 15 And they shall by no means be absent from it. 16 And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is? 17 Again would that you only knew how terrible it really is! 18 It is the Day when no one shall have the power to do anything for another, and all command shall be Allah's. 19
