Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the Sky is cleft asunder; 1 When the planets are dispersed, 2 the oceans are merged together, 3 and when graves are laid open, 4 everyone shall know all his deeds, both the earlier and the later. 5 O man, what seduced you from your munificent Lord 6 who created you, formed you and proportioned you? 7 In whatever shape He will He could surely have fashioned you. 8 No! But you deny the Recompense. 9 Lo! there are above you guardians, 10 noble, recording, 11 who know of all that you do. 12 Behold, [in the life to come] the truly virtuous: will indeed be in bliss, 13 and the libertines shall be in a fiery furnace 14 roasting in it on the Day of Recompense 15 nor shall they ever be absent from it. 16 And what do you know – of what sort is the Day of Justice! 17 Again, what shall teach thee what is the Day of Doom? 18 A day when no soul shall possess aught to succour another soul; that day the Command shall belong unto God. 19
