Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When the heaven is cleft asunder. 1 when the stars are scattered, 2 And when the seas are burst forth (got dried up); 3 and when graves are laid open, 4 Every soul will come to know what it has sent ahead and what it left behind. 5 O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous, 6 Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion; 7 Shaping you into any form He pleased? 8 Nay, [O men,] but you [are lured away from God whenever you are tempted to] give the lie to [God's] Judgment! 9 Surely there are guardians over you, 10 Kiraman (honourable) Katibin writing down (your deeds). 11 aware of whatever you do! 12 Indeed the virtuous are in serenity. 13 And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire. 14 They will burn in it on the Day of Judgement, 15 and from which they will find no escape. 16 And what could make thee conceive what that Judgment Day will be? 17 And once again: What could make thee conceive what that Judgment Day will be? 18 It is the Day when no soul can do a thing for another soul. That Day, the command belongs to Allah. 19
