Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ When the Sky is cleft asunder; 1 And the stars dispersed, 2 and when the seas burst beyond their bounds, 3 And when the Graves are turned upside down;- 4 then a soul shall know its works, the former and the latter. 5 O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous, 6 Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias; 7 and composed thee after what form He would? 8 Yet you deny the Last Judgement. 9 And yet, verily, there are ever-watchful forces over you, 10 noble scribes 11 and these honorable scribes know whatever you do. 12 The pious will surely be in heaven, 13 And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire. 14 They will burn in it on the Day of Judgement, 15 And they will not be able to keep away therefrom. 16 And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense? 17 Again, what do you know what the Day of Recompense is? 18 It is the day when no soul will have power to do the least for a soul, and God's alone will be done. 19
