Shattering (Al-Infitaar)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ WHEN THE SKY is cleft asunder, 1 And the stars dispersed, 2 And when the oceans are swept away. 3 And when the graves are laid open, 4 Each soul shall know that which it sent afore and that which it left behind. 5 O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent?- 6 Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical? 7 Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee. 8 Despite this, you deny the Day of Judgment, 9 Lo! there are above you guardians, 10 Noble and recording; 11 aware of whatever you do! 12 the virtuous will dwell in bliss, 13 whereas the wicked will be in Hell; 14 Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment, 15 And never therefrom will they be absent. 16 What do you know what the Day of Recompense is? 17 Again would that you only knew how terrible it really is! 18 It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah. 19
